'Herbert Protocol' initiative to be launched on Isle of Man

Did you know 70% of people with dementia will go missing at least once?
A scheme that encourages carers, family and friends to provide useful information, which could then be used in the event of a vulnerable person going missing, is to be launched here on the Isle of Man.
Named for George Herbert - a war veteran of the Normandy landings who had dementia and sadly died whilst he was missing - the 'Herbert Protocol' initiative is gaining popularity across the British Isles.
It will officially be launched here next Tuesday 1 July (11am-2pm) during an event in Strand Street, Douglas.
Siobhán Fletcher spoke to Gemma Wild from the charity, and Crime Prevention/Design Out Crime Officer Sarah Williams to find out more.
