Staying safe and secure in your student accommodation

Be wary of people tailgating behind you when walking through gates or when swiping your fob to enter the building. If someone does try to tailgate you, ask them to show you their key fob. If they don’t have one, don’t let them in and report it to your Sanctuary Students team.

Don’t just lock your door when you’re going out, lock it even if you’re staying in.  Keeping your bedroom door locked will help to keep your valuables safe.

Make sure that you always have your keys on you and don’t leave them hanging in the lock in the door. If you do lose your accommodation keys, report it to staff immediately.

It’s as easy as that. If you see someone or something around your halls of residence that doesn’t seem quite right, report it to your Sanctuary Students team or call our 24-hour security team (you can find the number in your welcome pack).

If you have any comments about safety on site, you can get in touch with us by email.
