The Government recently announced that on Sunday 23rd April at 3pm they will be testing out the UK wide ‘Emergency Alerts’ test.
Emergency alerts are a loud alarm sound and text notification that can be sent to people’s phones as a warning if there is a life-threatening emergency nearby, a severe flood or gas leak for example.The test means that every phone in the country will go off on Sunday as a practice run, even if it’s on silent.
When people are living with frightening domestic abuse, part of their safety plan may be to keep a phone hidden in case of emergencies as they may need to call 999 or contact a loved one for help after their partner has destroyed or taken their main phone.
The test alert will sound on a smartphone even if it’s turned to silent, this may inadvertently let an abuser know that there is a hidden phone in the house and put victims in danger.
