Safety and Community

The Campaign

1 in every 10 students are likely to get burgled whilst at University and with Fallowfield having very high crime rates keeping yourself happy and safe whilst you're at University is a priority.

The Safety and Community Campaigns running at the Union aims to provide you with the knowledge, skills, tools and ability to improve the security of your house and your local community.

Did you know that leaving your garden a mess can increase your likelihood of being a victim of crime? Think about it, if I was going to rob a house I'd go for the student one, its likely to have 5 residents all with laptops, mp3 players, nice phones and security is often lax, having an obviously studenty house can make you stick out like a sore thumb! This year we will be providing you with the tools and knowledge to help you avoid being burgled. Helping you do up your house and will have lots of community events that will help you to look out for your neighbour's house and also spread information about criminals acting in certain areas. So Don't be a Cliché!
