Establish a national alert system for missing autistic & vulnerable people

Open for signatures 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should introduce a national alert system which alerts every phone in a county when an autistic or vulnerable person goes missing.
We have seen many vulnerable people, autistic children and other young people go missing. We believe a national alert system could help to drastically reduce the time it takes to find a child or young person. We hope this can lead to a safe and happy ending where the missing person is found.
