What do you do when someone you know is missing?

- Begin by calling the person, searching the places where you think they could be, and speaking to people that might know where they are.

- If you think the person is at risk, report them as a missing person to the police. You do not have to wait 24 hours.

- If you plan to search in unfamiliar places or in the dark, take someone with you or tell them where you are going.

- Make a note of all the things you have done, places you have searched and people you have spoken to.

- Ask family or friends to help you; this can speed things up and make you feel more supported and less alone.
