The University of Bradford has secured the Best Bar None (BBN) Accreditation for 2025/26, a national accreditation scheme which has highlighted the steps taken to provide a safe, inclusive space, championing student engagement.

Assessors praised the student supervisors for their rare level of confidence and capability, calling it the strongest staff team seen across all student unions and universities this year.

The new SC02 social space in Student Central has received glowing praise from a national body responsible for assessing licensed premises, who described the area as โ€œan amazing provision," while the team who run it are credited as going โ€œway above the call of duty.โ€

While we won't know the results until July, the assessor was so impressed with the venue, he kindly sent an extract of his report in advance. And there is even a suggestion that Bradford could even become the blueprint for other universities to follow.

The assessor, who is the Business Development Consultant for the NUS Charity trading team, wrote: โ€œA tenacious and imaginative ethos truly captures what the commercial team at the University of Bradford have achieved over the last twelve months.

"From the interactions witnessed with students, it is clear the service users not only respect the facilities, but hold the team in extremely high regard and demonstrates a level of trust with the premises that is rarely seen in similar settings. The premises' unique approach with handling a challenging climate is admirable, with student staff receiving a skillset for life after graduating.

The assessor noted how successfully we have tailored and operate the โ€œAsk for Angelaโ€ scheme, in which individuals can discretely seek support from bar staff if they feel unsafe or threatened, as well as the training provided to the staff.

Discussions are now underway for other student unions/university facilities nationwide to learn from Bradford as an example of best practice, with talks of hosting training for others on campus.
