Safety

Fontys highly values the safety of students, staff and visitors. Below, we focus on three themes: physical, social and digital safety.

In case of emergencies at a Fontys location

  • Call internal emergency number 08850-77119. The control room quickly links with emergency services and grants access to campus at the gate;
  • Call 112 in case of emergency. No urgency but want to speak to police? Call 0900-88-44;
  • Report an accident using this form. This is important for insurance purposes.

Confidential advisor

Do you feel that there is bullying, (sexual) harassment, racism, discrimination, aggression, or violence within Fontys? It is important to respond quickly to such situations. Feeling safe is a fundamental right.

What is a Confidential Advisor?

A confidential advisor is there for everyone within Fontys and is the point of contact if you encounter undesirable behaviour or feel unsafe. For example, in the event of bullying, (sexual) intimidation, racism, discrimination, aggression or violence. You and your story are safe with one of our confidential advisors, as they have a duty of confidentiality.
