About the issue

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.
