ANNEX 2 - CONDITIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE OPERATING SCHEDULE
Steps taken to promote the four Licensing objectives
Own policy in place 'Safe Space' - firstly to make a welcoming environment for all students to enjoy without fear of being offended and also that a strict line will be taken on any bias or hate incidents so that they do not develop into crime or disorder. This ties in with internationally diverse membership and our aim to provide a wide range of events catering for a cross section of the university and local community.
A close relationship with local police will be maintained in order to respond to their requests and to work with them to make the streets and the night time economy safer for all involved.
The venue will use a mixture of bottles, glass and plastic drinks receptacles to operate dependant on time and event. All glass is nucleated (toughened glass) that will shatter into tiny pieces if broken. On high capacity events nights all the drink receptacles will be moved over to plastic to reduce the incidences of breakages.
Bottles are always sold across the bar but drop bins are provided around the venue and staff are always employed to ensure that bottles are removed from the venue and staff are always employed to ensure that bottles are removed from the venue as soon as practical.
Bottles,drinks or glasses are not allowed outside of venue this will be controlled by placing bottle dump bins at the exit for people to throw away empties, and to display signage on all exits informing customers that drinks are not allowed outside and to enforce the policy on nightclub nights the door staff and licensed security would monitor and check patrons on exit.
Drink promotions will be offered but will be done in a responsible manner to reduce the dangers of binge drinking and the effects of alcohol.
If drink promotions are run it is never done so in a time sensitive manner e.g happy hours nor is all inclusive entry and drink offers ever provided.
Regular promotions for soft drinks will be offered
Refusal to sell self mixed cocktails, chasers or multiple drink offers.
Staff are encouraged to keep a vigilant eye out for drinkers who appear to have had enough and students will be asked to oleave if it is felt that they have passed their healthy limit.

All security staff will display the correct badge confirming registration. A female will be included so that female searches can be carried out and ladies toilets checked.
All security staff will be in a set uniform to make them easily identifiable on CCTV.
All operational venue staff (duty managers, barr staff and security) are reularly trained on crime prevention measures. These include monotoring of the venue, drugs awareness and conflict management.
Signs will be displayed announcing you reserve the right to search customers on entering the venue and will do so both randomly and for people with large coats or bags to try and reduce any drugs, weapons or unauthorised alcohol entering the venue.
The venue will have CCTV covering all public areas backed with recording for the purposes of monotoring and preventing problems and in aiding any inquiries from the police or internally.
The whole venue will be lit for varying uses but no area is dark and secluded so as to attract people wishing some privacy so as to carry out mischief.
In addition to the CCTV coverage coverage the venue will be monitored constantly by staff (duty managers, security, glass collectors and house supervisors) to ensure that we are operating safely. These staff use
