Emergencies
In an emergency, immediately call the Security Office on ext 3333 (01273 87333 from an external or mobile phone). You can also phone Security for first aid assistance. Never call 999 (Security will do this for you), as emergency services need to be met at the entrance to campus and guided to the incident location.
There are emergency phones inside many buildings on campus, including in the foyers of the Park Houses and in the porters' lodges of Park Village, East Slope, Lewes Court, Brighthelm, Stanmer Court and Swanborough.

Staff respond to requests for first aid and assist in obtaining an ambulance and/or police. All Security staff are trained in first aid.
They will respond to fire alarms and if necessary arrange for attendance of the fire service.
In liaison with Chubb Fire, the alarm systems are tested every week.
If there is an emergency and friends or family need urgently to contact students who live on campus, they can do this on the landline telephone in each of the study bedrooms. Alternatively, urgent messages can be left at York House 24-hour reception on 01273 678323.
