Safety at Raleigh Park
Living in a student community should help with homesickness and make you feel less alone. Student communities can be targets for criminals, so for your own safety please follow these guidelines.
Stay safe in the home
- Make sure your flat / room is secure and locked at all times
- Always close and lock windows and grills at night, even while you are in your property
- Keep your keys and swipe cards close to you at all times
- Use the intercom system to identify callers at all times
- If in doubt, ask for identification before allowing anyone you do not know into your building
- Do not feel pressured into giving access to people you do not know
- Always let a friend know when you are going out and what time you are expected to return
Stay safe in the city
City centres are great fun but it pays to take care of yourself whilst out and about. All our properties are close to the city centre, but at night try to take a taxi rather than walk home - especially if you are out alone.
- Book a mini cab by telephone rather than flagging one down on the street. Only black cabs should pick you up at the roadside
- Don’t walk around with mobile phones and/or personal stereo systems on display
- Never resist if someone demands that you hand over an item. Your safety is more important than money or possessions
Crime prevention
Do make sure that internal and external doors are locked even if you are away for just a minute. Remember that your insurance cover does not apply if you have had goods stolen from an unlocked room or flat – even if it wasn’t you that left it open. Think of your flat / house mates as well as yourself and the crime rate will drop.
By following the recommendations in this guide, you should be at less risk of crime happening to you.
Staff at Raleigh Park will be making special efforts to help you with Crime Prevention measures notably property marking (Smart water). Look out for publicity of these events.
If you are unfortunate enough to become a victim of crime, report the matter to the police by calling Tel: 0115 948 2999, and obtain a crime reference number. You should also report the incident to the Raleigh Park Office (01158 516 600) or out-of-hours (0843 2892329) where a member of the team will be on hand to offer support & advice.
