Scottish National Missing Persons Framework Good Practice Conference

Scottish National Missing Persons Framework Good Practice Conference – 25th March 2025, 9.30am-1.30pm – Online via Microsoft Teams

Join Missing People, the only charity in the UK specialising in providing guidance and support to missing people and their families, for our fifth conference in Scotland, held in partnership with Police Scotland and Scottish Government. Since July 2019, Missing People have been delivering a programme of consultancy, training and good practice sharing to support Scottish Government’s work to ensure that The National Missing Persons Framework for Scotland is implemented effectively across local areas.

We have been working with partners across Scotland to identify existing good practice of local professionals in the support of missing adults, children, and their families. This conference will showcase elements of this practice from local areas, in line with The Framework.

The aims of the conference are to:

  • Increase understanding of good and innovative practice for reducing harm related to missing
  • Provide an opportunity for professionals to discuss the benefits and challenges of multi-agency responses to missing people and their families
  • Address current issues and trends relating to missing across Scotland.

This conference will include speakers from across Scotland, lived experience and presentations from our divisional partners to discuss and exhibit a variety of good and innovative practice around missing.

This event is free and has been funded by Scottish Government.
