ANU UniSafe can assist with extensive security advice for all Functions and organise guards to patrol events and monitor event safety. This may be provided by our approved contracted security provider or through our student UniSafe Support Team Members (ANU Students providing liaison between the student community and ANU UniSafe management).
ANU UniSafe reviews all Risk Assessments in conjunction with the Functions on Campus team to ensure that the event is safe from a security perspective, and ANU UniSafe’s approval is required for Functions to proceed. The use of any external security companies, including crowd control, needs prior approval from ANU UniSafe and often a stakeholder meeting prior to the event.
Get in touch with Functions on Campus (+61 2 6125 4000 (Option 7), 9am-5pm Monday to Friday) who can organise a meeting with ANU UniSafe.
Content warnings
If your event includes potentially distressing or sensitive content, let attendees know in advance so they can make an informed decision about participating.
Where appropriate:
- Include a clear content warning in the event description or invitation.
- Repeat the warning at the beginning of the session.
- Allow attendees to leave or take a break if needed.
- Provide details of relevant ANU or external support services.
Additional safety measures to think about
It is a good idea to consult with the Work Environment Group (staff), and Access and Inclusion/Thrive (students) for large events.
