The Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) operates a National Bat Helpline to provide the general public, owners of buildings containing a bat roost, the building trade and land owners and managers with easily accessible and accurate information. Myths and misunderstandings about bats together with intolerance and fear have always been obstacles to their conservation, and by informing and supporting people who come into contact with bats BCT works towards its vision of a world where bats and people live in harmony.
The helpline team currently comprises six full-time Helpline Officers, and up to four Seasonal Helpline Officers, who each take responsibility for answering and responding to calls and organising Natural England bat casework. There is a vacancy forthcoming for one full time Helpline Officer.
