Protecting young runaways

The Children’s Society has produced resources focused on vulnerable young people who go missing. They include materials around what to do when a child goes missing and how to prevent runaways. Their planning guide will help local authorities and safeguarding children boards to plan and develop local responses to young runaways. It reflects updated government guidance on the issue. There are also guides for parents and carers, local authority commissioners, teachers and children themselves.
