Though much of the guidance on these web pages is applicable to any missing person case, whether in the UK or abroad, there are some aspects which are different when a person goes missing abroad.

The following guidance is designed to deal with the specific issues that may arise when a loved one goes missing outside of the UK and gives details of the specific agencies that should be contacted in this instance.

This guidance was produced in partnership with Missing Abroad. Further details of the charity can be found at www.missingabroad.org
