How You Can Help
Missing Persons Network relies on the awareness and support of the community. Even small actions can make a meaningful difference when someone is missing. This page explains safe and responsible ways you can help.
Stay aware
Take a moment to review active cases in your area. Familiarising yourself with photos and descriptions increases the chances of recognising someone who may need help.
- Check local cases regularly
- Share verified posters with friends or community groups
- Keep an eye out when travelling or commuting
Report credible information
If you believe you have seen a missing person or have useful information, please submit a tip as soon as possible.
Even small details — such as a location, time, or description — may help families or authorities piece together what happened.
Share responsibly
Sharing information can be helpful, but accuracy and respect are essential.
- Share official posters or links only
- Avoid altering photos or details
- Do not speculate or post rumours
- Respect the privacy of families
Misinformation can cause unnecessary distress and may hinder investigations.
What not to do
To protect individuals and families, please avoid:
- Public accusations or assumptions
- Contacting or confronting people directly
- Posting personal information online
- Creating unofficial or misleading posts
Always allow trained professionals to handle investigations.
Support families with care
Families of missing persons often experience significant stress and uncertainty. If you choose to offer support:
- Be respectful and compassionate
- Share information responsibly
- Avoid intrusive questions or speculation
