SAFE:LIFE

Residents are solely responsible for the security of their personal belongings and the University accepts no responsibility for loss or damage unless as a result of the University’s negligence. Your study bedroom should be locked whenever you leave it unattended and, if you live on the ground floor or in the low-rise residences, all windows should be secured even for a short period. The same applies to kitchen and flat doors which should remain locked, particularly at night.

Any loss should be reported to Residential Services staff or Security. All staff and students are issued with identity cards and any stranger should be asked for proof of identity. Any person seen acting suspiciously should be reported immediately to the Security Office or Residential Services staff. If you see, hear or experience any unusual occurrence (e.g. the presence of an intruder), report to Security as indicated above.

The University operates 24-hour CCTV coverage for the protection of staff, students and visitors, and our Security staff patrol the site regularly.

Please ensure that the entry doors to your flats remain closed at all times, thus preventing intruders gaining entry. In the event of an emergency e.g. vandalism, suspected intruder, theft, please contact security staff by dialling 2222.

You are strongly advised to keep unoccupied bedrooms locked at all times. In addition you should ensure that windows are secure as insurance companies will not meet claims where doors/windows are left unlocked.
