People go missing for a wide range of reasons, and there is often more than one cause. Going missing is an indication that someone is struggling for one or more reasons; anything from being unhappy at home or school, to experiencing mental ill-health, to risks around exploitation and grooming. There will often be both push (things pushing someone to leave) and pull (things drawing someone away) factors involved in someone going missing.
For children and young people, some of the most common reasons are:
- Being unhappy at home or in care, including conflict, abuse and neglect in the home
- Risks around exploitation, including sexual exploitation and criminal exploitation
- Mental health concerns
For adults, some of the most common reasons are:
- Diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues
- Problems at home and relationship breakdown
- Many adults with dementia will go missing
Every person who goes missing will have different circumstances and reasons for going, and it’s important that these are explored when they are found or return.
