Of course, we hope you will never require the help and
assistance of the services listed here. However, it could be worth familiarising yourself with, and making a note of the contact details for, services which may be relevant should you need
them. In times of physical distress, ensuring you can reach the necessary help both quickly and easily really can save lives.

genuine emergencies. Making calls to the 999 number for non-emergencies wastes valuable time and may put other lives in danger.

|
|
|
|
|
|
- What has happened
- Where it happened - the locations and specific directions
- Your telephone number
- How many people are involved in the incident
- Any particular hazards which may be involved
- Do you also require the assistance of any of the other emergency services
