Being a member of the Student Eye scheme doesn’t just mean getting a load of free stuff, it also relies on each Student Eye member being aware of other member’s houses and making sure that the property looks and sounds normal – if it is not, then this can be reported.
As a Student Eye member, you will be added to a Safety Information mailing list to receive up-to-date safety information, tailored to you location.
