Orientations will consist of a walkaround tour of the space and the communal areas of the EX2 building, following the list of discussion topics below. The bullet points in this list can trigger a more in-depth discussion if required. There are also some of our formal written policies which must be read and agreed to, which are linked to below. | |||
