The Universities of Glasgow and Essex reported on Wednesday 6 March that they had each discovered suspect packages that required the emergency services to attend. Both universities have since returned to normal activities following a brief closure of some buildings.
Colleagues in our post room and security staff are aware of these recent events and have received training, as most campus post is handled by them. The reception teams in Halls of Residence have also been informed so that they can be aware of any direct courier deliveries.
Whilst events elsewhere appear to be harmless, false alarms, it’s always sensible to remain vigilant and report any suspect packages to our Security team:
