We also investigated how wellbeing and safety of staff in student accommodation was handled. In that particular regard, I want to make a mention of the high level of professionalism that there is amongst student accommodation staff. We know that accommodation staff across the board work hard and are dedicated to meeting residents' needs and ensuring residents in student accommodation have a positive experience. Student accommodation is increasingly becoming a professional career path, and through the inquiry, the committee heard from current and former staff who have been working in this sector for a long time and have a wealth of experience. In addition to the long-term accommodation, staff are residential assistants. These roles are filled year on year by senior students and play a key part in a wider student accommodation staff support provided to residents, including, for example, initial residential support and response in identifying situations for follow-up escalation.
