Privacy Invasion Worries?
The Controversial Directory of Mobile Phone Numbers went live on June 16th.
Connectivity the company that runs the service has acquired millions of mobile numbers. A user can call the 118 800 service and ask for a connection by giving a name and location. Connectivity then contact that person, who can decide whether to accept the call. The service also works through their website (118800.co.uk) - this time the intended recipient is sent a text with details so they can call back if they want.
Critics, including MPs, worry that the service is an invasion of privacy, particularly since many of the phone numbers belong to children. But if anyone is concerned they can request their number's removal from Connectivity's database, ensuring they don't receive any unwanted calls. Visit the following web page to do this:

Resource Catalogue
The NATT+ Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Resource Catalogue has proved very sucessful and has already a second batch have been printed to supply the demand it has generated! It features over 200 education resources from all over the country in one easy to use publication. Following the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Resources Project report in November 2008 a Catalogue was seen as an essential tool for getting the appropriate materials into schools and other educational enviroments.
Also included are people such as artists and musicians who can take workshops, lessons and assemblies.
Unfortunately it came to our attention shortly after the second print of the resources catalogue that the phone number for WMCSTC had been supplied incorrectly, and was therefore misprinted throughout the catalogue. Correction slips have been inserted into the newer catalogues but please note that the phone number for WMCSTC should be 01902 714 646.
