Case Study: University of Glasgow strengthens global safety and travel support with CriticalArc SafeZone

University of Glasgow protects millions in potential non-compliance costs with CriticalArc SafeZone

The University of Glasgow (UoG) sought to enhance the safety and wellbeing of its globally mobile student and staff community, particularly during international travel for study, research, and placements. Their challenge was to strengthen emergency response worldwide, improve communication during critical incidents, and manage UKVI compliance. To address this, they partnered with vendor CriticalArc to implement the SafeZone platform.

CriticalArc's SafeZone solution provided a unified safety platform that empowered users to get help immediately from anywhere in the world. The implementation resulted in real-time problem-solving, transparent oversight of international travel, and a reduced administrative burden. This helped protect the institution from millions of pounds in potential non-compliance costs and has become central to attracting and retaining students and faculty.
