The Herbert Protocol
The Herbert Protocol
Since 2017 the Herbert Protocol has been used many times to help police and other agencies quickly and safely locate missing people who have dementia. The scheme has been nationwide since 21 September 2021.
Families of a person with this condition are asked to download the Herbert Protocol form and provide information such as places of importance to them, often visited places, health issues and places they have been found in the past if reported missing. Ownership and responsibility for updating the form remains with the family.
For more information and to watch our video from Police Scotland please visit their website The Herbert Protocol – missing persons with Dementia – Police Scotland.
