The Herbert Protocol
The Herbert Protocol is a scheme adopted by several police forces across England and Wales, in partnership with Local Authorities and other agencies.
It is a simple risk reduction tool to be used in the event that an adult with care and support needs is reported missing.
It is named after George Herbert, a war veteran of the Normandy landings, who lived with dementia. Whilst commonly associated with dementia, it can be used for other vulnerabilities.
If you have a loved one, friend or relative you provide care for, or who lives alone, and are worried about them going out, find out more from Lancashire Constabulary.
