This Sunday, every phone in the UK will be sent an emergency alert test that sets off a loud siren notification, even if your phone is on silent.

This could cause a risk for women experiencing domestic abuse, as it might reveal hidden phones. For many survivors of domestic abuse, a safe phone is a silent phone.

Visit our YouTube for a step by step guide on how to opt out of these alerts by switching off the notifications within your settings > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch2ifaUislA&feature=youtu.be

As part of my MA Psychotherapy studies this coming year, I’m looking to interview qualified counsellors/psychotherapists who work with clients who’ve been subjected to domestic abuse and/or sexual violence, and who incorporate somatic approaches within their practice. If you fit the criteria and are interested, or would like to know a bit more, please get in contact! .
