Child Missing Protocol
A standing template for known information that may be needed if a child goes missing.
In development
Missing episode records connected to the child profile.
ResiNotes is being developed to support missing-from-care workflows without treating each episode as disconnected paperwork.
ResiNotes separates the standing child protocol from the live missing episode. The protocol holds known information; the live episode records what is happening now.
Careful workflow design
Standing information and live risk need different records.
The module is being developed with careful language: designed to support practice, not replace professional judgement or local policy.
Live missing episode
The priority record for what is happening now, including category, risk level and immediate circumstances.
Description from profile
Description information can be pulled from the child profile as a starting snapshot for the episode.
Last seen details
Last physically seen time, last known location and immediate circumstances sit in the live record.
Risk level
Risk information is designed to be visible without losing the wider context of the child profile.
Police details
Police references and contact details can be recorded as the workflow develops.
Professional notifications
Notification evidence for relevant professionals can sit with the episode record.
Timeline and updates
Episode updates can build a timeline so the follow-up is clearer for managers and authorised staff.
Return, closure and review
Return, closure, manager review and archive concepts are part of the planned workflow shape.
Future integration
Hashtags can support trigger visibility.
Future workflow integration is being shaped so protected hashtags can open, close or surface missing episode review without asking staff to duplicate the same information in multiple places.
- Standing protocol for known child information.
- Live episode record for the current event.
- Timeline updates for ongoing follow-up.
- Archive concepts for older closed or cancelled episodes.
