Safety on campus

Safety on campus
Campus is a safe, relaxed environment, but our security team are there for our students 24/7.

Security staff patrol all areas of the University on foot and by vehicle throughout the day and night. There is an extensive system of CCTV cameras, intruder alarms and access control in all areas of University property for your safety and security.

The Security and Emergency Services Office is located in the Atrium of the Richmond Building. It is staffed at all times of the day and night, with staff available to help you with any problems that you may have.

▪️ Keep up to date through notifications sent directly to your phone if there is an incident on campus

▪️ 'Check in' at any time of day to tell us where you are on campus 24/7

Useful advice
Our local police force, West Yorkshire Police, has lots of advice for students on how to stay safe, and what to do if you're a victim of crime. Take a look at their Student Safety website.

The Complete University Guide also has a useful guide to staying safe at university.
