What to do if you know where someone is and they're not in danger
Thank you. If you know where someone is and are not concerned for their welfare, they don’t fit the definition of a missing person, so police will not take a missing persons report from you.
The following charity may be able to help:
- Salvation Army Family Tracing Service, a UK charity reuniting families who have lost touch or been separated
If you become concerned for a person's well-being, please call us on 101.
