Caring for vulnerable people, including those with dementia or Alzheimer's, can be challenging. There's a risk they can at some point start to 'walk about', get lost or go missing. So planning ahead to keep them safe is really important. The Herbert Protocol is a form that carers, family or friends of a vulnerable person, or the person themselves can fill in.
Watch our short animation all about friendships. It talks about what good and bad friendships look like and when children should seek help.
The Threshold guidance is for everyone who works alongside children, young people, their families and carers in Telford. It is how we work together, share information and ensure that children and their families remain our main focus and that we provide effective support to them.
These materials have been written for children and young people aged 3-18 living in Telford and Wrekin.
