The Herbert Protocol is a national scheme introduced by the police in partnership with other agencies, which encourages people living with dementia and carers to compile useful information which could be used in the event of a vulnerable person going missing. The form should be completed in advance, and all vital details, such as medication required, mobile numbers, places previously located, a photograph, etc., should be recorded. If a family member or friend goes missing, the form can be easily handed to the police to reduce the time taken to gather this information. ❔ When should the form be sent to the police? 👉 The police only need the form when the person is reported missing. There is no need to hand it to the police before then. ❔ Where should the form be stored? 👉 It should be stored securely, in accordance with data protection laws, but where it can be accessed quickly. ❔ What should a caregiver do if the person goes missing? 👉 After you have conducted an 'open door' search of the address, grounds, and outbuildings and you believe a person is missing, alert the police as soon as possible. If you believe the missing person is at a high risk of harm, please call 999. Tell the police operator that there is a Herbert Protocol person profile. If you're deaf or hard of hearing, use the textphone service 18000 or text on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eVXb8GHQ #herbertprotocol #charity #dementiasupport #carersupport

As the TRAPS Finance Chair, I'm encouraging everyone to take a minute to donate to the TRAPS CARE campaign. We only have 15 days left, and we need your help to reach our goal - even if it's only $5 or $10 bucks. Every dollar you donate helps TRAPS provide the connections, resources, advocacy, and education (CARE) to continue building the skills and knowledge of parks and recreation professionals, directly translating into enhanced services for our Texas communities. I will personally contribute $1 for every person who donates. No need to tell me the amount of your donation, just DM me or put "done" in the comments so I will know how many people donated. Here’s a few examples of how your donation creates positive change: $10-$25: provides educational resources to keep professionals at the forefront of their field. $50: supports TRAPS scholarships for parks and recreation professionals and students to attend conferences, workshops and professional development courses. $100: helps fund the creation of toolkits and materials to educate policymakers for better park funding. $250: supports TRAPS accredited professional development courses, enabling members to bring innovative ideas to their local communities. $500: contributes to providing annual subscriptions to industry publications and online resources, advancing professional capabilities and community services. $1,000 and Above: supports statewide workshops, maintenance rodeos, networking opportunities, awards, and other opportunities to bring our members together.
