Missing children

Children who go missing from home or care are at increased risk of harm. Every missing episode warrants professional attention, and practitioners need to offer a consistent and coherent response to ensure the child is protected from harm.

Please note, the frequency of the Missing Panel has changed to monthly. This change was agreed through the VCA subgroup and the following guidance will be updated in due course to reflect this.
