# Protection Services
Protection Services provide support for critical incidents, safety and security on campus and can provide advice and practical solutions with regards to personal safety. Our dedicated crime prevention team can supply Ultraviolet (UV) marker pens, personal attack alarms and burglar alarm units and will make special visits to student accommodation houses to give free advice about security.
