If someone you care for—especially someone living with dementia or memory loss—were to go missing, would you be ready to help the police act fast? The Herbert Protocol is a national safeguarding initiative that helps police locate vulnerable missing persons more quickly. It involves filling out a form with key details such as: • A recent photo • Medical conditions • Places of significance • Daily routines • Contact information Filing the form takes around 20 minutes to complete—about the same time as: • Making a cup of tea and watching the news • A short walk around the block • Catching up on emails or scrolling social media This small investment of time could make a life-saving difference.
If a person goes missing, the completed form can be handed to police immediately, helping them act faster and more effectively. The Herbert Protocol has already helped reunite families and save lives.
