Emergency SMS alerts
Our 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 do we use the SMS alert system?
Our 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 Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, also known as ‘Martyn’s Law’.
Alerts will only be sent in a critical emergency.
