SafeZone

Get 24/7 access to the Campus Safety team on campus through the SafeZone app.

App features

  • Emergency call - if your personal safety or that of others is (or has been) threatened
  • First aid call - if you or others require medical assistance (our Campus Safety team are all first aid trained)
  • Help desk - for non-urgent help on campus
  • Lone working - make Campus Safety aware that you’re working alone outside office hours

SafeZone only tracks your location if you request assistance, so that responding officers can locate you. The app will tell you if you are outside of campus boundaries and offer you a connection to 999 for emergency services.
