SafeZone

SafeZone is our free app based system for students and staff that enhances your personal safety and connects you round-the-clock directly to the University Estate Patrol Security team. It provides a quick and easy way for users to alert Estate Patrol if you ever need advice or urgent help when on campus.

SafeZone allows you to call for help and alerts the security team of your situation and location, so that we can co-ordinate to help you quickly and effectively.

SafeZone is GDPR compliant and your location stays private unless you use the check-in options or you request urgent or medical assistance.

If you are based at one of our Cornwall campuses, find out how to download the relevant SafeZone app here.
