We’re here for you


We aim to provide support for those requiring extra assistance. If you, or someone you know is navigating life with a disability, we’re here to help on multiple fronts so everyone can benefit from our services.


We’ve tailored our services to aid usability and accessibility. Whether it’s through screen reader compatibility or other assistive technologies, our aim is to facilitate an experience that’s fully inclusive.

If you need letters or bills from us to be posted in large print or braille, please contact our support team.

To address hearing difficulties we offer a text relay service and 999 video relay service.

Text Relay Service:
Provides text-to-voice and voice-to-text translation for those who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired with the aid of a relay assistant.

How to make a call?
To call a telephone: dial 18001 followed by the number you’d like to call.
To call a textphone: dial 18002 followed by the number you’d like to call.
To call emergency services: dial 18000 and your call will get priority.
999 BSL video relay service.

The 999 BSL Video Relay Service allows deaf and hearing people to communicate from separate locations via the telephone, in their own respective languages. A deaf person can use various endpoints (smart phone, tablets and web-based) to make a call to the emergency services, through a BSL (British Sign Language) interpreter appearing on their screen. A hearing operator will then receive a call from the remote BSL interpreter, who then relays the conversation by seeing and communicating with the deaf person on screen. This service is free to all users and no registration is required. For more information, please visit https://999bsl.co.uk.

Understanding the importance of providing support for mental health conditions, we recognise the significance of creating an environment that’s accommodating and considerate.

Call Barring

This handy feature gives you the power to control the calls that can be made from your home, or even bar incoming calls.

Choose to refuse

This is the end of nuisance or unwanted calls. Put a stop to them by preventing them from getting through to you. You can block up to 10 numbers with this feature.

Anonymous Call Rejection

This function allows you to stop calls from people who have withheld their number, so you will only receive calls with visible numbers.

Ring Back

We don’t want you to waste your time trying the same number again and again until it is free. By simply dialling ‘5’, we will call you back when the line is no longer engaged, so you can get on with your day.
