What we do
We offer assessment and support to young people who have run away or are missing from home. We encourage young people and their families to access and engage with multi-agency support tailored to meet their needs. We work to prevent children and young people who are vulnerable to going missing from home by diverting and signposting them into positive activities.
We can help with
- We support children and young people who have gone missing/run away from home. Our help includes return-home interviews, so they have a chance to talk about why they ran away, what happened when they were away and how they are feeling now they are back. This is done so things can happen that will make a recurrence less likely.
