MFH interviews

In line with ‘Statutory guidance on children who run away or go missing from home or care’ (January 2014), Bespoke Social Care Solutions is in a unique position to provide both fully trained Independent Return Interviewers and Advocates to meet with children and young people within 72 hours of their return home.

The interview is an in-depth conversation with the child or young person. It provides an opportunity to hear about why they went missing and to understand the risks and issues faced while they were missing. Interviews can uncover information to help protect children from the risk of going missing again, from risks they may have been exposed to while missing or from risk factors in their home.
