Safeguarding vulnerable people

As part of their Missing Persons strategies, UK police forces are encouraging carers of vulnerable people who are at risk of going missing to compile useful information about them.

This data is recorded on a form provided by the police and can save vital time in putting together a search and rescue plan in a missing persons event.

These forms are called “Protocols”. Safe and Found Online has worked in partnership with several English police forces to create digital versions of these forms. This means life saving information can be with the police at the touch of a button.
