- Collect a Visitor's Badge from the Guard
- The FS office will be contacted and the staff member that you are visiting will be alerted and collect you from Reception.

We hope you appreciate the need for all visiting adults to the ESC campus to adhere to these protocols. Please note that appointments should be made in advance wherever possible so that our Security staff and Reception staff can anticipate and welcome visitors appropriately.
