SafeZone
SafeZone is a personal security application that gives you 24/7 access to the University's Campus Safety team.
When an incident occurs you can use the app to send a geo-located alert to the Campus Safety team. If you find yourself working alone you can choose to 'check in' which will allow the Campus Safety team to more quickly identify where you are and support you more quickly.
Key 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 aid.
- Help desk: for non-urgent support on campus.
- Lone working: alert campus safety that you’re working alone outside office hours.
- We recommend you install the desktop app on University devices. If you are alone and need help, you can use it to call support even when you are unable to use a mobile phone.
- Geo-location: when you request assistance, your location will be shared to help our responding officers find you. If you are outside of campus boundaries, the app will tell you and offer you a connection to 999 for emergency services.
- Report emergencies abroad: The app lets you connect with local emergency services and automatically notifies the University.
