Safe and Found Online

Safe and Found Online is a website that helps you keep up to date useful information about a vulnerable person. This can be shared with the police if they are lost or go missing. Carers, family members and friends can complete the online forms to give details about the person you care for including: medication needed, emergency contacts, places they’ve lived previously and photographs.

Creating an online document on Safe and found online is:

  • more convenient than keeping copies of a paper form or a saved file
  • less stressful as you don’t have to remember the information at a difficult time
  • quick to update and can be done as often as you like
  • easy to share
  • saves valuable time in a missing person situation

Safe and Found Online can help you create copies of:

The Herbert Protocol, designed to help in the search for people living with dementia or who are vulnerable due to care needs. It can include information on their health and where they may have been found before.

The Forcer Protocol, designed to help in the search for missing service veterans, including information on their vulnerabilities and where they have been found before.

These forms can be accessed immediately online by Northumbria Police if needed.

There is a paper version of the Herbert Protocol form available from Northumbria Police to download if you cant get online or prefer
