Campaigns
The NMPCC organises a number of campaigns in support of missing persons and proactively targets existing events to extend the reach of communication messages.
Major campaigns include:
- National Missing Persons Week - 1 to 7 August 2010
- Day for Daniel (Morcombe) - 31 October 2010
A key campaign is National Missing Persons Week which in 2010 will focus on addressing a common myth in society - that you have to wait 24 hours before reporting someone as missing. If someone's whereabouts are unknown and there are fears for their safety - report them immediatly to police. You do not have to wait 24 hours, or any amount of time, before reporting someone as missing.
