@ d.o.:And what then is "safetycom" and when and why should one use it?
As I understand the UK situation, I tend to agree with Crash One: for any given place in airspace, there ought to be one and exactly one frequency that one can talk to, and that one should always be listening to. If inside controlled airspace: the controlling authority - be it tower or approach or whatever. Outside controlled airspace: the relevant "information" - except in or when approaching the traffic zone of a non-controlled aerodrome.
Why complicate matters?
