Child Rescue Alert UK
Free AppAbout Child Rescue Alert UK
The only official Google Android app for the UK Child Rescue Alert system.
If your child went missing wouldn't you want the world to stop and look for them?
A Child Rescue Alert is only activated by the Police when a child is known to have been abducted or their life is believed to be at immediate risk.
» When do you use a Child Rescue Alert?
»» Child Rescue Alert is intended to be activated by the Police when particular criteria are met:
»»» The child is believed to be under 18 years old;
»»» There is a perception that the child is in imminent danger of serious harm or death;
»»» There is sufficient information available to enable the public to assist police in locating the child.
» Why not issue a Child Rescue Alert for every missing child?
»» When Child Rescue Alert is activated huge numbers of people will very quickly become aware of the endangered child. They need to be motivated sufficiently to keep their eyes open and be prepared to report sightings. We have to ensure that people notice the alerts. This is why there are strict criteria. If alerts are raised too frequently Child Rescue Alert could become ineffective. Many types of publicity appeals are made for other missing children in the UK by police forces, the charity Missing People and through the MissingKids website.
If you have information about a missing child who is not the subject of a Child Rescue Alert, please call or text 116 000, or visit this website -https://www.missingpeople.org.uk/missing-people/sightings-and-giving-information.
Please see http://www.childrescuealert.org.uk/home/page/Faqs for more information as well as the FAQs in the app itself.
Every second counts and your support is vital. By reporting a sighting you could be the person who saves a child’s life. The app also provides access to the latest child safety information.
Developed by the charity, Missing People, in partnership with CEOP, a command of the National Crime Agency and the technology provider, Groupcall.

The app doesnt work. It used to but comes up with error receiving data. I think this is pretty poor especially if a child did go missing nobody will be alerted to the fact

Good app! Keep getting "error downloading data" should we be receiving anything if a child goes missing every 5 minutes? As nothing is appearing on my app? Good app all the same! Fantastic idea!!! :)

Thought this was a really good idea and it used to connect fine but I recently opened it though and got an "error receiving data" message. Tried re-installing but still have the same issue. Needs sorting otherwise people have this app thinking they are helping, but they might not have realised the app is not updating them with any information.

This is a brilliant idea. I've had this app on my phone for a few years now, but I've never had an alert. I don't know if that means it's not done in my area or if my app doesn't work.

Was looking for something like this a while ago to use locally. Not just for missing children but any real problem in my local village where a response from the community would immediately help. What a fantastic app.

If this saves one child from the clutches of an abductor and saves parents hearts being broken then well worth it. Pity hadn't been made before.
by Y####:
It just tells me there is a error receiving the data. I have refreshed and even reinstalled the app but nothing works
