Known issues
There are occasional reports of delayed responses, particularly for non-emergency issues outside standard university hours. To address urgent matters, it is advised to use emergency alarm buttons located across the campus or call 999 if off-campus. Anonymous disclosures can be made online, though they may limit follow-up support. For non-urgent issues, contacting Security during university business hours can improve response times. Ensuring you have all necessary details ready when reporting can also expedite the process.
