Ofcom has amended the General Conditions http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/ioi/g_a_regime/gce/cvogc150807.pdf adding Annex 4 to General Condition 14.

This requires public VoIP operators to provide to domestic and small business operators about Emergency Services (amongst others).

Paragraph 10f of Annex 4 to General Condition 14 (page 48) requires the VoIP services to make an annoucement if non routable emergency numbers e.g. 999 or 112 are dialed, such as

“Calls to Emergency Services cannot be made from this handset; please hang up and call from an alternative telephone service such as a traditional
landline or mobile phone.”

It also goes on to state "This announcement shall be interspersed with a Number Unavailable Tone for the benefit of hearing-impaired users."

If you run a private VoIP system, it's probably a good idea to implement this too.
