Shopping at Braehead
Health and safety
First Aid
In case of an accident or emergency, you’ll be in safe hands. Our security staff are trained in first aid skills and will assist on request.
Drones
You might be able to buy a UAV, or drone, in centre, but please wait until you get home before you try and use it! We are committed to keeping people safe and out of harm’s way when they visit us, as well as protecting the security and privacy of our staff and members of the public, so we don’t allow the use of drones anywhere in Braehead Shopping centre without express permission. That includes inside our centre, within our retail stores, in the car parks and on adjacent land, or anywhere else within the centre’s periphery. A member of our Centre Management team would be happy to speak to you if you have any questions, and thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Code of conduct
All of us here at Braehead are committed to making your experience with us as welcoming as possible. Whether you’re here for shopping, treating or eating, it’s important to us that each and every one of you feels at home. With that in mind, we have a few simple house rules that we hope will keep everyone happy.
Security
When visiting Braehead Shopping centre, don’t be surprised if one of our team members approaches you to see if you need any help. It’s all part of our service. Our shopper’s safety is our number one priority, which is why Braehead Shopping centre operates a 24/7 CCTV operation centre wide. Coverage is for the purpose of public safety and crime reduction, where we work in partnership with Police Scotland.
If you are lucky, you might see one of our friendly police dogs in training too. However, please remember these are busy working dogs and have a very important job to do.
From time to time, you will see security scanners at our main entrances to the shopping centre. Don’t be alarmed, these aren’t just another beeping scanner and it’s important to stress that they aren’t related to a specific threat.
