Why it matters
A clear exact location helps emergency services find the home without delays caused by similar building or estate names.
Wrong action
Relying on memory or giving only the estate or building name during an emergency.
Correct action
Write the complete address and 999 clearly, and make sure every adult helper knows where to find it.
What to do
- Confirm the official address with the employer.
- Place the card beside the main phone or agreed emergency point.
- Practise reading the full address clearly.
If something happens
Call 999 for a genuine emergency, state the exact location and condition, and follow the operator's questions.
