For any victims of domestic abuse, or people working with victims, please note that on 23rd April 2023 the UK government will be sending out a test emergency alert to mobile phone users.


The alert will still sound even with your phone silenced, so please ensure the alert is switched off if you need to keep a phone concealed for safety reasons.


See the video below from Refuge for help on how to turn off the emergency alert.
