Police Scotland and Dementia

Sadly dementia effects many of us.  We hope this info shared by Scotland might be helpful to you.

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.

Families of a person with the 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.

More details and an informational video about the scheme are at this link.
