Cybertrack: "

Each Benefon Track phone is equipped with an SOS button. On activation, the phone's revolutionary global positioning system (GPS) receiver obtains the user's exact location which is transmitted, together with the person's unique identity, direct to the Orbis Monitoring response centre in Cheshire. During an alarm situation, the phone's microphone is automatically activated, enabling Orbis to record and confirm an emergency situation is in progress. There is also the facility to interrogate the phone to obtain the user's latest position. "

Guidance on Community Cohesion: "

The United Kingdom is a changing society. Socio-economic changes are reflected in our growing ethnic and cultural diversity. These changes bring many gains but sometimes there are tensions and divisions that may lead to fracturing within and across local areas and local communities. Against this background, the enormous importance of working for social cohesion becomes evident.
