New government security guidance on sharing workspaces

18 May 2026

Visit our Research Security Hub for the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) guidance – plus the safeguarding actions we should all take on campus.

Our campus aims to be an inclusive and welcoming place to work. At the same time, the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues, students and visitors is our priority.

The National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) has developed guidance on shared workspaces, which can be seen on our Research Security Hub.

There’s also further guidance detailing the actions we should all take to ensure our personal safety and the security of our research. For example, when entering or leaving any restricted areas, do not allow others to tailgate into the space behind you.
