UK Emergency Alert test

On Sunday 23 April there will be a national UK Emergency Alert test between 3pm and 3.30pm

This new Emergency Alert system is being rolled out by the government and will notify all phones with an alert sound - including when they are on silent. Victims and survivors who have a secret phone that they may hide from an abusive partner must be informed in order to take action to prevent the phone from activating, like switching it off or putting it on airplane mode.

Please share this message to help inform victims and survivors of the upcoming alert.
