  • It’s not an easy job. There, we said it. Because of circumstances, people dialling 999 may be unable to speak to the advisor.
  • You will need to distinguish what’s really happening on the other end of the line.
  • You might speak to a little child calling because Mummy has fallen down – or maybe it’s someone who is being mugged and has had their mobile snatched away as soon as they have dialled 999.
