The Herbert Protocol

The Herbert Protocol is a national scheme which encourages carers and families to record vital information on a form which could be used in the event of a vulnerable person going missing.
The protocol was introduced by West Yorkshire Police and named after George Herbert, a war veteran of the Normandy Landings, who lived with dementia.
So far 55 people with dementia have gone missing in Lincolnshire since January 2017, out of a total of 411. This is 13%.
