The two-day event will also offer delegates 1-1 development sessions as well as several networking opportunities to liaise with higher education professionals across a variety of disciplines.

The Criticalarc team will be on hand in the exhibition area to demonstrate, Safe Zone, a holistic solution for managing day-to-day safety and security operations, workplace health and safety (WHS) compliance, ensuring duty of care, supporting first aid and full-scale emergencies in real-time.

Darren Chalmers-Stevens, Criticalarc EMEA Managing Director, said: “We’re delighted to be part of the ARC conference, which will provide us with a perfect platform to showcase our Safe Zone solution. To date 15% of UK universities have adopted to enhance the safety and security of students and staff, protect their reputations in the event of an incident, support emergency management and business continuity policies and streamline day-to-day operations.

“The University of York, Heriot Watt University, Northumbria University, University of Kent, Newcastle University and Swansea University are just some of the organisations now utilising Safe Zone to create a safer 24/7 learning and research environment all without capital investment.”
