Keep Missing-From-Home Records Structured and Connected

Missing-from-home events can involve significant safeguarding information, actions, notifications and follow-up.

YourClouds helps homes maintain an organised record of the event and connect relevant information with the young person’s wider record.

Record the event

  • Date and time
  • Circumstances
  • Actions taken
  • People contacted
  • Return information
  • Safeguarding concerns
  • Notifications
  • Management review
  • Follow-up
  • Young person’s views

Review the wider picture

A missing-from-home episode may lead staff or managers to reconsider risk, safeguarding arrangements or other aspects of the young person’s care.

Keeping relevant information connected makes that wider review easier.

Identify recurring patterns

Structured information can make repeated events and emerging patterns easier for authorised managers to identify and review.
