How we keep you safe

There is an extensive system of CCTV cameras, intruder alarms and access control in all areas of the University for your safety and security.

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

Safezone

Keeping students safe is our top priority. Our SafeZone app is a great way to have peace of mind when you’re on campus.

The app is free to download, easy to use and has lots of useful features:

  • Quickly and discretely send a location-based alert to our security team whenever you need an immediate emergency response, first aid or any other assistance
  • Keep up to date through notifications sent to your phone if there is an incident on campus
  • ‘Check in’ any time of day to tell us where you are on campus 24/7

 

Setting up your SafeZone account is easy

  • Open the app and enter your university email address
  • You’ll be redirected to the University of Bradford sign-in page, simply enter your usual university log in and password

Our security team will respond to your alerts as soon as they are received. If you need support when you’re not on campus, the app will prompt you to dial 999 for assistance.

Report + Support

Students and staff can use Report + Support to report incidents such as:

  • bullying
  • harassment
  • discrimination
  • sexual misconduct
  • hate
  • other behaviour that falls short of what we expect from students and staff at the University.

Reports are made online, anonymously or with your details - it's completely up to you.

The Green - secure accommodation

There’s a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at The Green, our on-campus student village. However you can be sure we’re looking out for you, with:

  • 24-hour security and CCTV
  • unique fob access to each living area
  • Secured by Design accreditation
  • a team of wardens

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.
