Missing From Home
Our Missing From Home Service ensures that young people who go missing are independently interviewed within 72 hours of notification. The service is central to Oldham’s strategy to safeguard young people from harm and vulnerability. Young people are listened to carefully and safety plans developed to ensure they are aware of the risks of going missing and have strategies should they get into trouble.
We also work to reduce the numbers of missing episodes and prevent potential harm. The service operates within a wider framework of safeguarding provision in Oldham and has strong links with Phoenix, Children’s Safeguarding and Greater Manchester Police.
