CHILDREN MISSING FROM CARE OR HOME
Local governments have a key responsibility to protect and promote the welfare of children, which necessitates effective collaboration among agencies and professionals.
When a child goes missing or runs away, they are in danger. Protecting children from this risk is thus part of safeguarding them. Local governments are responsible for protecting children who go missing from their homes or from local authority care.
