New research into the experiences of Black missing children

ListenUp and Missing People are now carrying out further research to explore more than just the data. They are hoping to better understand the experiences of Black missing children, including any unique drivers for them going missing, any risks that the Black community specifically might be facing, and their experience of the response from the police and other professionals. They will be carrying out interviews with previously missing children, but are also collecting evidence through surveys for young people, their parents, and for the professionals that work with them.

Please help with this research by sharing the following surveys with anyone who might be interested to contribute. Or please consider filling out the second one yourself if you have relevant experience.

Survey for Black young people (16-25): www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ListenUpMissingPeopleYP/

Survey for parents, carers and professionals who have reported a Black child as missing, or worked with Black children who have been reported missing: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ListenUPMissingPeoplePC/
