Safety and Security

There’s a dedicated team of Security who patrol the residences and monitor the extensive CCTV coverage to look after your safety and security. The Security team are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They work closely with Residence Life Mentors to ensure the safety of your accommodation.

Top Tips for Staying Safe

• Don’t leave the front door on the latch. It means that anyone can access your accommodation.
• Lock doors and windows when not at home.
• Don’t allow anyone to follow you into your block unless you know them.
• Remember the green break glass button is only to be used in an emergency.
• Keep valuables out of sight.
• Use the safer routes when walking back from campus - these are patrolled by Security and are covered by CCTV.
• Don’t walk alone at night.
