About Us
You can help find a missing child
The UK Missing Kids Website is a unique, state-of-the art tool designed to help the police recover missing and abducted children. It is a partnership between the Police, charities, and the private sector.
The Missing Kids Website was originally created in the USA by the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). It was
introduced to England, Wales and Northern Ireland in June 2000, and
to Scotland in June 2004. The site is managed by
the NPIA Missing Persons Bureau and by a number
of police forces.
The UK Missing Kids Website is the only site of this kind which
is approved by the Home Office, ACPO (Association of Chief Police
Officers) and ACPO(S) (Association of Chief Police Officers Scotland).
Only the police can enter information on the UK site. The ACPO document
- "Guidance on the Management, Recording and Investigation
of Missing Persons 2005" - defines criteria for the use of
the website by the police service.
The Missing Kids Website has been introduced to 15
countries and more are joining every year. The latest country
to join was Germany in 2008.
Our aim is to make the website the first port of call in the search
for missing children.
