You mentioned attack alarms and until recently the website said, "St Andrews is a safe place..." so no wonder drunk girls walk home at three in the morning on those paths behind DRA.
Whatever it is you do, get more information out there. Information on what to do if you are attacked, who to call, where to go. Also, get information out there for the f***wits who don't think there are consequences for their actions.

The reason it doesn't say "St Andrews is a safe place" anymore is because I went to see the DoR before I was even elected, and said it was inappropriate. I know exactly what you mean, I agree with you entirely, and I plan to do as much as I can to rectify this attitude.

To be quite honest, the representation section of the Union website kind of sucks. I know we're in the middle of fixing it before anyone says that, but honestly, if I have a problem - be I a woman or not - there is so little practical information on what to do.

You are right. It does suck.
I would like to see a section for each officer showing what they are currently doing. (and I mean what actions they are taking on issues, not just a flim-flammy statement of their 'interests').

One of the reasons all of these threads have proliferated is that on the weekend following the elections, I emailed each of those who had just been elected asking them to each prepare a verbal report to be delivered at the first meeting of the SRC.
Edit: I should probably clarify. What I mean by this is that I'm hoping that such reports can be turned into something more permanent. What would people think to an SRC blog?

The reality is we have a pretty safe town, so don't go scaremongering too much, make sure you keep a balance...taking the "safe" bit off the website is a bit much, old girl. Yes, things happen, they do all over the world, but to remove a reassuring message (for students, prospective students and parents) from a website because of the few incidents that make up our very, very low crime rate is going too far.
Remember what Beardy said..."If you deliver a message that seems too strong in too strong a manner then no-one will listen."
