Security escorts are available for students and staff. The security service provides escorts after-hours from buildings to car parks or on-campus accommodation buildings.  It should be noted that there is no officer dedicated to this service and so the response time will be variable depending on the duties and location of the Security Officers at the time of the request.

In accordance with prevailing social distancing requirement, the Security Officer may only be able to escort on foot for the health and welfare of all concerned.
