Keep informed about the status of the Northern Grid network

  24 March 2011

On the rare occasions that there are problems with the Northern Grid network we want to ensure that we are able to keep users informed. We have just launched a notification system that will be used when we have important announcements about service affecting issues. Examples of this would be a disruption of service or notification of an upgrade. It will not be used for day to day announcements about content or events; these will continue to be circulated through our mailing list.

The alert system is able to send SMS messages to mobile phones, send emails and call land lines. In order to benefit from this system you will need to send us contact details for all relevant members of staff. Please complete and return the attached spread sheet.

This information will not be shared with any other organisation and you will be able to unsubscribe to the service by emailing
