Accommodation Agreement

Children’s Heart Surgery Fund works to ensure that all families who stay in the CHSF accommodation on Brotherton Wing are able to live in a safe and healthy environment.

• Do not welcome visitors in the CHSF accommodation, only family members who are residing within the rooms are permitted to use the facilities. (Details of those who are able to stay must be recorded on the form below).
• CHSF have the right to terminate your stay if any persons other than those recorded here are found to be occupying the room. This will result in you having to vacate the CHSF accommodation immediately.
• If you notice anything in the CHSF accommodation which may cause injury or accident, please inform a member of CHSF staff, or Ward L51 staff as soon as possible.
