On Sunday 7th September at 3:00pm, the Government will conduct a national emergency alert test. This test will send a loud siren-like sound to mobile phones, even if they are set to silent or vibrate. The alert is expected to last only a short time, but we understand it could cause confusion or concern for some individuals.
To help everyone prepare for this event, Mencap has created an Easy Read guide that explains what will happen during the test. This guide is designed to provide clear and simple information so that people with learning disabilities and their families can better understand what to expect.
