Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Council have joined forces with the city’s universities launch Student Safe Zones for those studying in the city.
The Student Safe Zones have been created with the help of local bars, restaurants and other businesses around the Oxford Road area. The businesses involved will display Student Safe Zone signs to indicate that students feeling unsafe or threatened can enter the premises then wait for the problem to pass, call a taxi to take them home, or get help from the business or the police.
Greater Manchester Police’s Inspector Andy Sidebotham of the Student Safe Team, said:
"Manchester and the surrounding areas such as Fallowfield have a vibrant night life that attracts students and others alike.
"We view the safety of people living and visiting the city as a priority and we see this scheme as a great way of reassuring our students in particular that Manchester is a safe place to live and study."
