Emergency SMS alerts
Our new Emergency SMS Alert System allows the University to send text message alerts to staff and students in a critical emergency, such as a major fire, flood, or where people are in immediate danger on campus.
Why has this new SMS alert system been installed?
Our new Emergency SMS Alert System allows the University to send text message alerts to all staff and students in a critical emergency, such as a major fire, flood, or where people are in immediate danger on campus. This is a requirement of the new Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, also known as ‘Martyn’s Law’, which is currently being passed through Parliament.
Alerts will only be sent in a critical emergency.
