Your Safety Matters

The ‘Your Safety Matters’ event brings together initiatives that are in place across the University and through our external partners, to help keep you safe.

Come along to meet the teams and find out more about:
- drink/drug awareness and drink-spiking
- preventative measures in place to deter perpetrators
- The Gender-Based Violence Advisory Group and bystander intervention awareness
- how to keep yourself and your belongings safe
- help and support available
- how to report incidents and much more.

Oxford Brookes Security, Community Engagement, Gender Based Violence and Student Welfare & Support teams will be joined by representatives from groups including:

Citywide/national initiatives
Nightsafe Oxford Network, bringing together organisations in the night-time economy to provide a joint approach to keeping people safe.
Oxford University Hospitals Trust, raising awareness and promoting safe use of alcohol and drugs.
Thames Valley Police (Project Vigilant and the neighbourhood teams), sharing their work around identifying and addressing perpetrator behaviours and discussing their work in the local area to help keep people safe.
Turning Point, discussing their work on the use of recreational drugs, sexual health and much more.

Local volunteer groups
Oxford City Angels, a voluntary service of individuals trained to support the safety and security of women during nights out.
Street Pastors, a group of trained local volunteers who go out in Oxford on Fridays and Saturday nights to care for, listen to and help anyone who needs it.

We’d love to see you at the event and hear your feedback and thoughts on the safety initiatives.
