Will I get my own key to the home?
The Host Family will provide a set of keys to each student aged over 18 to allow access to the home as and when needed. Students between the ages of 16 and 18 may not be expected to have a front door key and Host Families can use their discretion here. If you are under 16 years old you will not be given your own front door key.
Your Host Family will trust you to take good care of the key and if you lose it, you will be expected to pay for a replacement.
Please remember to lock the front door when leaving the house at all times, making sure the house alarm is set if required.
Your Host Family should be present on the day of your departure to organise to collect the keys. If this is not possible, the Host Family will usually make arrangements to have keys returned prior to your departure. In their absence some Host Families may ask a neighbour or family friend to be there on your departure.
Please ensure that you do not leave without first returning the key to your Host Family.
