Russell Group University Implements Campus-Wide Martyn's Law SSP

The Challenge

A prestigious university with 35,000 students and staff across a 200-acre campus required SSPs for multiple Enhanced Tier venues including a 2,000-seat auditorium, sports centre, students' union, and graduation ceremonies. The open campus environment, 24/7 library access, international student population, and academic freedom culture created unique challenges for implementing security measures without compromising the educational experience.

Our Solution

Developed an integrated campus security framework with venue-specific SSPs nested within an overarching campus security strategy. This encompassed graduation ceremony protocols for 10,000+ attendees across multiple days, lecture theatre and auditorium security for public events, students' union venue compliance for concerts and events, sports centre protocols for varsity matches and public fitness facilities, integration with existing campus security and pastoral care teams, and sensitive approaches to international student considerations and academic freedom.
