The SafeZone App
The SafeZone App is an app that is monitored 24 hours a day by the Campus Security team ensuring the safety and security of our students - whether it be on campus, at halls or anywhere in between.
The app can help with directions, if you need help in the event of an emergency or if you or someone around you require first aid.
To find out more, there is some information about how the app works and there is also a handy video about the app.
