Pan-European Helpline Numbers
Ofcom today confirmed the organisations that will run the first pan-European 116 helpline phone numbers in the UK.
The following organisations have been selected to provide their services on these 116 numbers:
- Missing People will use 116 000 for a missing children helpline;
- NSPCC will use 116 111 for its ChildLine service; and
- Samaritans will use 116 123 for an emotional support helpline.
116 numbers will allow anyone travelling around Europe to access providers of similar services by calling the same six-digit memorable number, making it easier for visitors to find the right number when they need help or advice.
