Missing from Known Address Policy (P71)
The purpose of the Missing Children and family Alert (MCFA) process is to locate pregnant women and children who have disappeared from view following an undisclosed change of address and for whom there may be concerns about child welfare in respect of unmet need, vulnerability or abuse. Working Together to Safeguard Children (HM Government 2018) identifies that all children should be safeguarded and have their welfare promoted. This Policy is aimed at DCHS Services that hold a child caseload.

It is expected that prescribers will preferentially use the products listed in the guide for routine use and be able to provide robust rationale where they have prescribed outside the formulary.
