Key features
Emergency help
Press the red button to alert the Loughborough University Security team immediately in an emergency. You can also call 999 directly from the app - we'll be notified of this, so we can support you straight away.
First aid
Are you injured or feeling unwell? Tap the green ‘First Aid’ button to get help quickly for you or other people in need from the nearest registered first aider. You can update your SafeZone profile with any medical conditions that you want us to be aware of. This helps first responders give you the right care, faster.
Non-emergency support
Need assistance, but it's not an emergency? Press the blue ‘Non-Urgent’ button to chat or call for help.
Check-in
Working or studying late alone? Tap ‘Check In’ so we know you're on campus. Don't forget to check out when you leave. You can also set a timer - if it runs out and we don't hear from you, we'll check in to make sure you're okay.
Report safety concerns
Spotted something worrying? Report any issues or suspicious activity you see on campus. You can choose to stay anonymous, but this may limit how effectively we can respond.
Safety alerts
Stay updated with real-time campus alerts and safety updates. You can also receive alerts from other participating universities, if you activate the ‘SafeZone Alliance’ feature.
