| Annotation | The author describes an early intervention scheme, the Herbert Protocol, designed to help locate vulnerable people deemed to be at risk of going missing. Norfolk Police developed the Protocol, which was named after a war veteran with dementia who had gone missing from his care home in Norfolk in 2011, and died whilst he was searching for his childhood home. The article demonstrates the Protocol's value in gathering information for a vulnerable person's needs assessment and care planning process, and can used to support multi-agency working between care professionals, local police, and in some cases volunteers from Lowland Rescue, a national charity, thus contributing to the safety of people at risk.
