Outsourced Security Services at The University of Southampton

The University Security Service is responsible for security at all sites which are owned by or leased by the University. However, the Service also extends to other sites and properties, which may, from time to time, be used by the University in pursuance of its activities. The teams who provide security in halls and the library are responsible for evening and weekend concierge services. The aim of the University's overall Security Service is to: • Prevent unauthorised access to University premises. • Protect life and limb of all persons on the premises. • Protect University property and all other property on University premises. • Protect confidential and sensitive information. • Maintain an efficient security structure based on prevention of problems and attacks. • Maintain a level of security consistent with the academic freedom in an environment of learning. • To provide a first point of contact for students at reception points in line with the University's customer service expectations. • To provide an approachable, professional, and above all, customer-focused service at all times.
