The Herbert Protocol is an information gathering tool used for early intervention and to reduce the risk around vulnerable people with Dementia or Alzheimer’s.
The information gathering tool consists of a form designed to make sure that if someone goes missing, the police can get access to important information about that person as soon as possible.
If a loved one goes missing, it can be deeply distressing and upsetting for family and friends. Being asked by a police officer to recall lots of detailed information can add to this stress, and therefore the process is designed to remove some of the worry.
You can pick up an application form from our offices (Monday-Friday 9am-12pm) or follow the link:
