Sorry if this is not the right place to post this, please direct me to right topic if not! I'm a governor at a primary school and this week a reception child went missing from the playground at pick up. There was a lot of concern by the staff and eventually the child was found at the local park. I was involved in the search and it struck me that there wasn't a protocol for the staff to follow as the situation unfolded. It was quite ad hoc and done in a panic.
I realise that in the majority of cases they will be found safe and sound playing oblivious to the panic they have caused, but my concern is that if there has been an abduction it's really important to establish quite quickly that they have not just wandered off. There was an attempted abduction in the town this term at one of the other primary schools.
So I'm wondering if a policy or protocol in a situation like this is something schools usually have? Or if anyone knows where I could find some advice on getting one?

Does your school have a lost child policy?
