All at the University of Salford are deeply shocked and saddened by the events of Monday night. Our thoughts are with all of those involved, their families and their friends. We urge everyone to come together at this time and support all those affected by this tragic event.
As advised and urged by Greater Manchester Police we will be proceeding with business as usual as far as possible and will be going ahead with the Purple Reign event at all venues. We wish to make all conference delegates and audiences aware that there will be extra security measures in place at the University campus and HOME, plus bag searches on arrival at The Lowry. Please assist us by only bringing essential items with you to the venue to ensure this process is as smooth as possible.
