Make Yourself Heard
Even When You Can’t Speak
Dial 999 if you are in danger

operator

handset if you can
If prompted, press 55 to let the call operator know
that it is an emergency and you will be put through
to the police
The Make Yourself Heard campaign was launched in the UK by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) in partnership with the Home
Office and other emergency services. It aims to help victims of domestic abuse access emergency support discreetly by dialing 999 and
pressing 55 when they cannot speak. For more information, you can visit the official campaign page on the IOPC website.
