Dementia can affect people differently. For some, it changes their ability to speak, for others their memory can be impaired, or they just need more time to understand what is happening around them. These factors can result in a person becoming confused and consequently getting lost.
The Herbert Protocol enables carers to pre-emptively record important details of such vulnerable people, including their interests, the places they like to visit and how dementia affects them, using an online form which is uploaded to Safe and Found Online.
These details can be accessed quickly by the police if a person with dementia is later reported missing, helping officers to find them sooner, bring them to a place of safety and reduce any risk of harm.
You can register information about your loved one here: https://safeandfoundonline.co.uk/herbert-protocol/index.html
