What is The Herbert Protocol?

The Herbert Protocol is used for those who are at risk of going missing and live with dementia in care homes, with family or independently in their own homes.

How to use the protocol:
- Complete, in advance, a form recording all vital details, such as medication, mobile numbers, places previously located, a photograph etc.
- Update the form regularly with any new information.
- Keep it in a safe place for example, saved on a computer or within a care plan. In the event of a family member or friend going missing, the form can be easily sent or handed to the police to reduce the time taken in gathering this information.

This is a fantastic initiative now launched in Lanarkshire after successful trials in other regions are you concerned about your loved ones and feel this would be of benefit . We are happy to help support our services with applications feel free to get in touch

We’re proud to launch SafeConnect in partnership with Police Scotland – a new safeguarding initiative to support people with dementia who may be at risk of going missing.

The SafeConnect fob is a small, yellow device that can be carried or attached to clothing. It holds secure emergency contact details and can be scanned with a smartphone using Near Field Communication (NFC) to help quickly reunite someone with their loved ones or carers.

After a successful pilot in Argyll & Bute and West Dunbartonshire, we're now rolling out SafeConnect fobs free of charge to anyone living with dementia across Scotland.
