Lost Child Points, Policies and Procedures

If a child or 'adult at risk' were to be found at one of your events, where would you take them? If an adult discovers their child is missing, where do they go?

Public events present a real threat of children being separated from their parents.

The challenges of dealing with missing and found children require expert knowledge of the law and safeguarding procedures and a robust lost child policy.  

Nipperbout regularly runs Lost Child Points at public events, most notably for the London Olympics and the Queen's Jubilees. Our team are childcare-qualified, DBS-cleared, experienced in working with children and well-versed in reuniting found children with their parent or guardian.

Our robust policies for 'safeguarding at events' can be tailored to fit your event and we are happy to assist at Safeguarding Advisory Group meetings.

To enable your team to become 'Safeguarding Savvy', Nipperbout also offers online and face-to-face 'Lost Child and Adult at Risk' training for all organisations that deal with the public at large events, leisure services and shopping outlets.

A Lost Child Point is ideal for:

Corporate fun days

Exhibitions
,
Festivals

Marketing events

Product launches
