If the missing person is not a UWE student you should telephone the local police direct on (0845) 456 7000 or the Police Officer Mike Lynett based at UWE on (0117) 32 82669.
You will need to supply the police with as much detailed information as possible, including the following:
- the full name and address of missing person
- his/her age and date of birth
- a young person will always be regarded as vulnerable by virtue of their age. In the case of a missing adult, the police need to know if there are any other circumstances that might make them particularly vulnerable (e.g. whether they are infirm or have a history of mental disorder)
- when they were last seen and in what circumstances
