Yikes. Scottish Government confirms that students whose family home is in Scotland (or presumably Northern Ireland or English and Welsh local lockdown areas) can& #39;t legally go home at weekend to see family. #visitorshortstay">https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-what-you-can-and-cannot-do/pages/students/ #visitorshortstay">https://www.gov.scot/publicati...

Major implications across UK. Unthinkable that other nations with define household differently. Many "away from home" students need regular physical contact with family to give / recieve support. I

In my view this goes well well beyond what students were warned about. Every HEI in UK needs to make this clear to students particularly given household visits ban could be Eng/Wales wide in days.

If students can& #39;t cope with that they need to be given opp to drop out with a place next year, no fees penalty and a way to escape their housing contract with charge.

Without charge I mean. Alternatively need option to study remotely if the course can be done that way.
