Home Office written question – answered at on 11 March 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to encourage emergency services to promote the Herbert Protocol for people living with dementia in their local areas.
People who go missing are often the most vulnerable in society. Initiatives such as the Herbert Protocol, are important tools to reduce the duration of a missing incident.
Implementation of the Herbert Protocol is an operational decision for individual police forces. The forthcoming update to the Government’s Missing Children and Adults Strategy, due to be published in the coming months, aims to raise awareness of effective practices, such as the Herbert Protocol, and encourages all agencies to work together to safeguard vulnerable individuals and to reduce missing incidents.
