Emergency services – police, fire or ambulance (emergency only)
Telephone: 999 or 111
If you believe a situation to be an emergency, i.e. you believe that your own safety or that of another individual is at risk, you should notify the emergency services. In the UK, you must dial 999 (or 9999 from an internal phone). Once you are connected to a call handler, you’ll have to answer a series of questions to establish what is wrong, such as:
- Which service do you require? (Police, ambulance or fire service)
- Where are you (including the area or postcode)?
- What is the phone number you are calling from?
- Exactly what has happened?
After contacting the emergency services, if you are able to do so, please also inform the porter on duty of the situation. Any situation involving fire or accident on the College site should always be reported to the porter as a full report must be made of the incident.
