Congratulations to AUCSO Member Claire Humble at Teesside University who features in today’s IFSEC Global article… 

Improving security is a constant challenge for universities, but it is one that Claire Humble and her team at Teeside University have embraced since 2017. We find out how the use of approachable, well-trained staff and the use of technology has had a dramatic impact at the institution.

Claire and her team at Teesside University are on a mission. Since 2017 they’ve been working hard to upgrade their capabilities and modernise the service they deliver – and they’ve achieved impressive results.

Today, the Middlesbrough main campus and the Darlington campus are largely crime free and feel safe and welcoming. Read the full article at https://www.ifsecglobal.com/security/transforming-security-on-teesside-a-team-on-a-mission/
