Accommodation Code of Practice

Over 150 Universities and Colleges are signed up to the UUK Accommodation Code of Practice (last updated in 2010), which exempts them from the requirements of the 2004 Housing Act. The Code was designed to ensure that students throughout the UK are provided with accommodation that is both safe and satisfactory for living. The Code requires an audit every three years with a summary of the findings, recommendations and agreed actions provided to the UUK/Guild HE Sector Advisory Group.
