Is the campus safe?

Newcastle College University Centre has a range of security measures in place to ensure that all students and staff remain safe while on campus.

We employ a team of security operatives providing 24-hour cover, 365 days a year. Optimum staffing levels are in place to ensure proactive foot patrols are conducted around the University Centre estates, both internally and externally.

All of our security staff can be identified by their high-visibility clothing, which is identified with SECURITY on the back, which serves to distinguish them from other day-to-day contractors and suppliers who may also be wearing high-visibility clothing. These security provisions run across all Newcastle College University Centre and NCG campuses.

CCTV is extensively situated around Newcastle College University Centre, both externally and internally in some buildings, for the purpose of crime prevention and public safety with a dedicated CCTV control room that is staffed continually. The CCTV control room has a dedicated emergency line number in addition to two other phone lines.

In addition to general staff challenging people without a valid Newcastle College or University Centre ID, security staff do this as part of their specific duties and conduct ad-hoc ID checks at the point of entry to buildings. We also have close liaison with our local neighbourhood police officers.
