Keeping You Safe on Campus

We have a dedicated security team who keep the campus safe for students, staff and visitors. If you feel threatened or vulnerable or wish to report something, the Security team can be found in their 24/7 control room in Whiteknights House. Alternatively, you can call them, contact them via the SafeZone app, or simply stop any member of the team out and about on the University estate.
