Emergency number for people who believe they are being harassed by congregating journalists

Ofcom is a post transmission regulator and can only become involved once a programme is broadcast.

The broadcasters and the broadcasting news organisations have agreed with the Press Complaints Commission that in a situation where an individual feels harassed because large numbers of print and broadcast journalists have congregated to cover a news story that the following emergency number: 07659 152 656 (which operates 24 hours a day) can be used by a person affected to notify the relevant organisations of their concern. Whether to withdraw is then a decision for the relevant organisations.
