Our security service is provided by SPS Security Services, a dedicated 24-hour security team that are present on campus 365 days a year. We also have a comprehensive CCTV network on all our sites, with cameras strategically positioned on the exterior of the buildings.
There is a member of the Security Team present on University property to assist at all times. Staff and students should make them their first call in the event of accidents, incidents and problems arising out of hours.
Our security team have also introduced body worn cameras for their staff to be used appropriately at all times, providing a range of benefits such as
- Obtaining essential video footage for use in security reporting and evidencing e.g real time recording of Health and Safety breaches
- Increase student/staff reassurance and quicker resolution of complaints
- Reduce assaults on security team members
- Help with the training of security staff
The Security Lodge is located in the Music Block opposite Holgate main Reception.
