There’s an app for everything nowadays, and this can make student life easier, cheaper and above all else, safer. Personal safety can sometimes take a backseat when you’re a student, but as we’ve emphasised, University campuses and the surrounding areas are not immune to crime and safety issues. Adding a few mobile safety applications to your phone or device will give you an extra layer of protection.

Personal Safety and Security

  • SafeZone- immediate access to on-campus security and a team of first responders 
  • Red Cross First Aid App (for Apple and Android devices)
  • St John’s Ambulance First Aid App (for Apple, Android and Blackberry devices)
  • PanicGuard – Recommended by the UK Police, developed together with Crime Stoppers, this app turns a smartphone into a personal attack alarm, evidence collection device and an emergency contact tool.
