Keeping safe on campus

Whilst Salford is a safe place to live and study, there can be times – as there are in all big cities – when you may feel unsafe. We’ve made it a little easier for you to take the utmost precautions to stay safe around campus and online.

Check out our advice on StartSmart in the ‘Taking care of yourself and each other’ section at start.salford.ac.uk

We provide a friendly security service that’s available for advice and assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
