The Student Community Partnership is made up of Bath & North East Somerset Council and Student and Staff representatives of the University of Bath and Bath Spa University. 

It provides a forum for liaison between the institutions, their students' unions as well as the Council on matters concerning students and the local community.  This includes accommodation, transport, welfare, community relations and environmental issues.

The Partnership jointly funds a Community Liaison Officer, Lisa Taylor.  Her role is to co-ordinate the activities agreed by the partnership and to work with local residents, the Police, Landlords, and other organisations, to improve relations between students and residents.
