Story
We’re proud of the work BT is doing to support our nation’s Emergency Services.
- We’re building the Emergency Services Network (ESN) – a new resilient national mobile network, giving 300,000 critical emergency workers access to 4G voice and data for the first time.
- All UK emergency 999 calls are handled via six specialist BT Call Centres. Connecting people in distress to the correct emergency agencies within seconds of their call, operating 365 days 24/7.
- Staff volunteering for Emergency Services roles are supported by the company with up to 10-days paid leave.
We're honoured to have this level of support from our employer and feel passionate about making our own personal commitments back to the brave Emergency Services teams who keep us all safe.
We want to say thank you for the work they do and the sacrifices they, and their families, make.
