The urban myth of 999 and how to use 55
It’s a bit of an urban myth that if you dial 999 then you will get a response even if there is silence on the call.
There are so many accidentally dialled 999 calls from mobile phones that when the operator is met with silence they will transfer you to the silent solution system. It is estimated that about 5000 of the 22000 silent 999 calls made daily are put through to an automated system.
This is a police system and after the recorded message which lasts for 20 seconds your call will be disconnected.
If however during that time you dial 55 the call will be transferred to the police who will attempt to hold a conversation with you through the use of simple yes or no questions. If unable to respond its
worth attempting to tap the keys in response.
Remember though that the use of 55 does not allow the police to track you location when using a mobile phone it simply informs the police that you have an actual emergency and haven’t simply had the phone in your pocket. As they are then aware that you have signalled you have an emergency but cant speak they will attempt to get feedback to assist you but you will still need to provide enough information in some way for them to do so.

Nothing to do with us
Maybe its my exposure to the worst in human behaviour through the training I provide but it seems like many in positions of responsibility are actively avoiding seeing problems with their employees.
Whatever happened to having a duty of care, did that dissolve along with the arrival of covid.
It amazes me how some seem to have developed blindfolds and slopping shoulders since asking people to work from home.
Following recent changes of heart in the government many organisations have stalled or even reversed plans to bring staff back into the office. I can understand that, however I find it disappointing that some are taking the welfare of those staff so lightly.
As you ask or tell people to work from home please bear in mind that not everyone's home environment is safe. In fact it could be terrifying, abusive and dangerous.
Lets all ensure that we avoid ignoring possible problems with our staff as they work remotely. Hopefully their issue isn't domestic violence it could be one or more of many other issues but surely if you have made home their place of work then step up to the plate and take responsibility for your staff.

Understanding the concept, advantages, limitations and constraints of distance in a fight are key. Make sure you understand how distance affects the fight.
Drills are useful but make sure you register how distance can help put principles into practice.
