The Safezone personal safety app is free to download, and use, and is the quickest way to receive emergency assistance whilst on campus.
We encourage all staff, students and regular visitors to campus to download the SafeZone app ready for use should emergency assistance be needed from the onsite first aiders, security or emergency response teams.
When you login make sure you use your short form university email address, e.g. xx1234y@gre.ac.uk, and provide a mobile phone number - the app does not accept landlines.

Guidance
Emergency Response and Business Continuity Planning
When the University is impacted or threatened by an emergency, important decisions must be made as quickly as possible, to ensure the safety of our staff, students and visitors. The Emergency Response Plan outlines the overall approach of the Emergency Response Group (ERG), providing a framework within which the response to an emergency can be managed.
The Emergency Response Plan is comprised of the following elements:
- ERG Process Flow: outlining the key management action points
- Part 1: The Plan; Details the purpose and remit of the ERG and the process to be followed in the event of an emergency
- Part 2: Individual action plans for ERG members
- Part 3: Contact List (Restricted document. Please contact the Health & Safety Unit if you require access)
- Part 4: Appendices; Accompanying documents to enable the Secretariat to support the ERG during an emergency
The Business Continuity Policy outlines how we intend to continue to deliver our services, at acceptable predefined levels, in the event of an emergency having a significant impact on our ability to deliver our usual services. This is supported by local and institutional Business Continuity Plans (BCPs). These plans are restricted documents. Please contact the Health & Safety Unit if you require access.
