Is York a Safe City?

Yes, like most smaller cities, York is safer than the larger cities.  The same risk do exist everywhere but crime levels are lower and most terrorist incidents have occurred in larger cities. However, we take the safety of our students seriously and have a comprehensive Emergency Plan. This is a requirement of our Accreditation so something all Accredited Centres should have!  The plan guides how our staff respond. We help our students to address and risks, however small with simple, easy to follow messages. The best known of these is Run-Hide-Tell, which encourages students to move away from danger, to keep safe and to get help.
