TecSOS

The Partnership is pleased to be facilitating the roll out of a brand new project which will dramatically improve the outcomes  for known domestic violence victims.  The new TecSOS initiative, funded by the Vodafone Foundation and working in conjunction with Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police, uses the latest mobile phone technology to prioritise and highlight emergency calls from victims.  The scheme, already successfully introduced in other parts of Europe,  will be implemented across 8 police forces in the South East over the next few months.

The new project was revealed to the public on 29th September 2011 at the Tate Britain as part of  Vodafone’s event to celebrate 20 years of  ’Mobiles for Good’.

Initial findings are overwhelmingly positive – the new device is being wholeheartedly welcomed by victims.
