The Herbert Protocol encourages carers to compile useful information which could be used in the event of a vulnerable person going missing.

The plan involves a form that can be filled out online at any time about someone suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia.

The form includes many questions about the persons lifestyle and other information that would help the police track them down as soon as possible.
