Dementia Action Awareness

Dementia Action Awareness

The Herbert Protocol is a national scheme introduced by the police in partnership with other agencies to encourage carers to compile useful information which could be used to help locate a vulnerable person if they go missing. This tool can be used in the event of an adult with care / support needs going missing. It consists of a form that contains vital information about a person at risk that can be passed to the police at the point the person is reported missing. A recent photograph of the person should also be kept with the form. The form should be completed and regularly updated, so that all the information is as relevant as possible.
