Every year, Police Scotland receive over 30,000 calls reporting people missing. Missing people require a proportionate and consistent partnership approach to quickly locate and support them and prevent further missing episodes.

It is therefore important for us all to be informed about Missing and for some of us to be skilled and have enhanced training if we work with an at-risk group.

To underpin our multiagency commitment to good quality responses to Missing we have developed and agreed a protocol in Forth Valley. This protocol is designed for the use of all practitioners who are involved in the prevention, response, support and protection of persons who go missing or are at risk of going missing.
