Information and policy

The Policy and Research team at Missing People is responsible for improving the support and services available to missing children, adults and their families in three ways.

• Firstly, we undertake and support research to understand the experiences of missing people and their families, and to understand what help they need.
• Secondly, using the findings of this research, we advocate for change through campaigns and policy work on issues affecting missing people and their loved ones.
• Thirdly, we monitor and evaluate Missing People’s projects and services to assess the charity’s impact and how we should develop our services in the future.
