MISSING | We are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of Taylor Charlton, 14, who has been reported missing from Barnstaple.

Taylor was last seen near to Tesco in the Seven Brethren area of Barnstaple at around 10:40pm on Friday 8 May.

He is described as a white male, 5ft 8ins tall and of muscular build.

He has dark brown hair and a moustache. He may be wearing a bright blue, fitted top and bright blue Nike shoes.

Searches and enquiries remain ongoing to locate Taylor, and we are appealing for anyone with information which may assist us, to please get in touch.

If you have seen Taylor, or know of his whereabouts, please call police immediately on 999, quoting reference number 50260117084.

Keep loved ones safe this winter by joining our Dementia Safeguarding Scheme and accessing free safety devices to help protect people living with dementia.

People living with dementia can be especially vulnerable if they become lost, particularly during the colder, darker winter months. Leading academic research into our Dementia Safeguarding Scheme, and national studies, suggest that when someone with dementia goes missing in colder weather, the conditions can increase the risk of harm.

Read More: https://orlo.uk/9HmJG

As part of the Avon and Somerset Dementia Safeguarding Scheme (Herbert Protocol), eligible residents can receive free assistance devices to help keep loved ones safe, including:

• Life360 Tile Bluetooth trackers that can be attached to keys, bags or clothing and linked to the Life360 app to help families see the last known location of the Tile if someone goes missing
• NFC assistance wristbands or tags that can be scanned by a smartphone to quickly access vital contact details

The scheme also lets people living with dementia, their next-of-kin, or carers, share important information - such as a recent picture, information about medication, key contact numbers and meaningful addresses. If that person is ever reported missing or needs assistance, officers can use this information straight away to help search the right places sooner - reducing delay and the risk of harm.

Find out more and apply for the Dementia Safeguarding Scheme (Herbert Protocol), including free devices for eligible individuals, at: https://orlo.uk/ZFlXl

If you or someone you care for is already registered for the scheme and has one of our assistance devices (Life360 Tile or NFC device), we would welcome your feedback. Please complete our short survey: https://orlo.uk/1fkRK
