SafeZone

SafeZone

SafeZone is a free app that connects you to the University security team if you ever need urgent help, first aid or if you have an emergency while on campus.

You can use SafeZone for:

  • Emergencies: If you're in a situation that's making you feel unsafe
  • First aid: First aid assistance for yourself or someone else while on campus
  • Wellbeing Assistance: Details of support services for students and staff. Talk confidentially to a counsellor through our 24/7 Student Helpline or Employee Assistance Programme
  • Check-in: If you are studying or working late on campus, use the check-in feature to let the security team know you're still in a building 
  • Tip reporting: If you see something suspicious on campus, you can report this quickly and easily using the tip reporting tool. You can choose to share your contact details or to do this anonymously. 

 

Protecting your privacy
Your location can only be accessed by the Security Team when you check-in or need help.

How to set up SafeZone

Automatic Check In - Recommended

After downloading the SafeZone app, register it using your University email address and mobile phone number

You now need to access your ‘Settings’ in your smartphone.

  • Scroll down to the SafeZone App and select
  • Click the Location arrow
  • Select ‘Always’ rather than ‘while using the App’
  • Then open the SafeZone App, click the ‘Settings’ option from the top left menu
  • Select the ‘Allow Automatic Check In’ button to green
  • This should then enable auto check in when in a zoned area on campus

Manual Check In

If you do not want to benefit from the automatic check in function you can manually check in when you arrive on campus.

After downloading the SafeZone app, register it using your University email address and mobile phone number.

  • You need to manually check in each time you come on campus using the ‘Check In’ button on the App Home screen
  • You are automatically checked out when you leave campus

We urge you to take every opportunity to register your presence when you can.
