FAQs

Can I take social leave, for example for day trips or family holidays?

A- A+

Yes, you are entitled to take 52 days of social leave in a financial year. 

While you are on social leave, you will still be required to pay your agreed fees and daily accommodation costs.

Brightwater will continue to hold your place for you while you are on social leave.

Please contact us if you need to extend the period of time that you are on social leave.

If extra social leave is required in addition to the 52 days, an additional fee will be charged to secure your place at Brightwater.

If you are away from Brightwater for 7 days or more and you have not notified us, we may not be required to continue to secure a place for you. However, we will write to you before any such decision is taken.

We would appreciate it if you could update us on any changes to your condition while on social leave.
