The University, Students' Union and West Midlands Police have developed a Safer Walking Route at City Campus between University accommodation and the main academic buildings.
When walking, particularly after dark, you may find it helpful to:
- use well-lit and populated routes;
- plan your journey before setting off;
- travel with friends or as a group where possible;
- keep your phone charged;
- stay aware of your surroundings;
- share your location or journey with somebody you trust if you want to.
These are options that may help you feel safer — they are not rules about how you should behave.
If somebody harms, threatens or harasses you, responsibility lies with the person who chose to behave that way.
