PFD Monitor interpretation

Share information between Fresh, university, out-of-hours and overnight security teams when drug-related concerns are raised.

Verbatim wording from the response

“c) Whilst Joshua was not a resident in a Fresh managed hall of residence during his first or second year. During this period, there were no reports of drug dealing by any of our residents that we were made aware of or could have been acted upon. I understand the inquest heard evidence that suggests a dealer was potentially operating from our halls, so we do take this report seriously. Fresh and UAL will ensure where concerns are raised, data is shared between Fresh and UAL teams, specifically the Out of Hours team and UAL and the overnight security cover at Fresh.”
