Statutory Guidance on Children Who Run Away or Go Missing from Home or Care (January 2014) states:

“An independent return interview should be offered when a missing looked after child is found.”

IndiCare is dedicated to ensuring that each young person receives an independent visit following an episode of going missing upon their return. This service encompasses the cost of any necessary follow-up work to support the young person's well-being and reintegration.
