Missing adults – advice for all

If an adult who has learning difficulties or a condition such as Alzheimer’s goes missing you should always call the police in the first instance, even if you think you know where they are. Every minute that they are missing increases the chances of them being harmed and the police will always prioritise this.

If an adult is missing you can inform the police and there is also a specialist national service to help you, telephone 0800 700 740 or visit their website at www.missingpeople.org.uk
