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 - Please see 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. ## Child Rescue Alert UK Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple6/v4/6e/2d/25/6e2d2560-e7da-bcc5-a716-8fdbd9f41dbc/mzl.hehqgqvc.jpg/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple/v4/d7/43/13/d743133d-ca82-0136-a06e-326f2d6e129b/mzl.rnezkuim.jpg/640x960.png) ## Child Rescue Alert UK Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 4 (27%) - 4 stars: 2 (13%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 1 (7%) - 1 stars: 8 (53%) ## Child Rescue Alert UK Reviews in United Kingdom ### *---- "near useless" speaking as the guy who provided the UK's first free child rescue service in 2002, which quickly went global, quietly winning web awards & winning praise from the FBI, Amber plans & police worldwide, working with CEOP internationally, & 50 million subscribers, i can say that i do not trust the people behind this or the UK's current "official" child rescue alert service. they refuse to release alerts if contracts have not been signed & refused to work with alert uk, my own service, the first of it's kind in the UK, which also worked with code amber & beyond missing in america. in 12 months operation my system aided in the location & safe return of 36 abducted kids in the USA. most were found & returned within 3-4 hrs of the initial & immediate alert. meanwhile, this bunch had a request to issue an alert for a single child here in the UK (from pollce) but refused (contracts had not been renewed in time). i issued the alert instead. i don't mess with contracts. if an alert is needed, an alert is/was issued. also, being UK only, they wont help in situations such as maddy mcann. dirty tricks by the operators of the official system meant that i was offline when Portugese police tried to call me (BT grabbed my line & blocked my internet access). also, in 2002, UK politicians, press & mainstream media were not interested (ITV & a UK police chief lied to the public & claimed that no child rescue system existed in the UK when they all knew mine was fully operational. the BBC kept quiet & the Sun newspaper took the mickey) & i had to put alert uk on hold because of this & lack of british public support & zero money. i was on call 24/7/365, setting up & broadcasting many many alerts in collaboration with my partners, Bryant Harper & Marc Klaas, in America. i am seriously considering adding the function (this time greatly automated) to my british based, global reach non profit 2048-bit encrypted SSL, MAPPA protected social media platform (which also aims to end child poverty by providing ubi for every user) because these bozos seriously don't have a clue what they are doing & they are doing it for all the wrong reasons. alert uk added missing persons of all ages & persons of interest, from police sources worldwide. we were a global resource. and we were a success. by targetting subscribers in areas the subject may be in or heading to, subscribers don't get overun with alerts. much success is achieved also by enabling users to share alerts by email with contacts outside -- adcathome, 2019-01-24 ### *---- "No alerts!" Despite alert on website... what's the point in this if it's not updated and used? -- DougHD, 2017-09-24 ### *---- "1 alert in over a year" Not the best app considering a child went missing in my area not long ago not a thing happened with the app does this mean no children have went missing I think not, massive improvements needed -- Dagssss, 2016-07-04 ### ***** "Very important to have" This app won't be needed very often as I don't think the alert has been launched much, but when it does will be really good to be able to help -- P.J, 2016-06-07 ### *---- "Child rescue alert UK" Unable to give zero stars. 2 kids missing here in separate incidents in 2 days and no alerts. 15 year old girls body identified today. Shocking app -- shazasmurf, 2016-03-22 ### ***** "Could save a child's life" Nice, simple app that could save a child's life - everyone should have this on their phone. I haven't had an alert come through yet but I understand that it's only used in really extreme situations. -- scmdavies, 2016-01-16 ### ***** "Good app if you know what it's for" This is a really great initiative and app and the reason it doesn’t issue alerts regularly according to their website it that it is only to be used in very specific circumstances that the police decide. It is working but they have only issued one alert so far. You can also sign up to receive alerts via email and text on their website too which I’ve done – easier than taking up app space! -- Comber86, 2016-01-06 ### *---- "Child Alert" Is this app working? Have had this on my phone for ages and have never had an alert. A little 10 year old boy from my area went missing last night and it was on sky news this morning which is how I knew about him. IS this app still active? -- Eliite-kiiller, 2015-09-07 ### *---- "Child alert" Had this app since GMTV told us it a vital part of out app choice not once has it alerted me or tells you how to operate it very confusing needs perhaps to tell us if, why's & buts of this app x poor little boy just been found perhaps if this app was working the alert might have saved him -- Cakemo, 2015-07-27 ### *---- "Good idea but dose not appear to do anything" Now uninstalled, unable to configure, no apparent settings for local alerts. Well intentioned but doesn't work. Download and try it out as I may be wrong, but I don't hold out any hope.No alerts since I got it,thought this was a great idea though. Does not appear to be any way to configure for local alerts. I know of a recent child notified ad missing in my area, but again no alert. -- Theoriginal8ball, 2015-06-15 ### **--- "Now what?!" Brilliant idea, downloaded the app but there is no instruction of what to do next...how does it alert you if you can't configure your number/email address? Potentially this could be a really good app but it needs updating. -- Mossy29, 2015-06-15 ### ****- "Great idea" Great idea although in the few months I've had it on my phone not one alert has been issued. im sure somewhere in the uk a child has just gone missing -- 8balluk, 2015-05-24 ### *---- "Doesn't work" How is this supposed to help missing children if there is never any alerts? -- Aliciapoppyx, 2015-02-17 ### *---- "Register" I downloaded this app onto my phone weeks ago but didn't realise that I actually had to register hence the one star. Hope no one else has made this mistake. -- Jebewill, 2015-01-07 ### *---- "Missing bristol baby" No alert was issued on here for the missing 4 day old baby who has now been found dead. -- deanyman, 2014-12-05 ### *---- "No alerts?????" I have had this app for nearly 2 weeks now and not one alert!? What's that all About? -- Lucyymariee, 2014-11-17 ### *---- "Dose not work" I have woken this morning to find on our local news that a child has gone missing. Straight away I checked this app, it says no alerts in your area. Obviously wrong, what's the point of this app if it's not up to date. Stick to your local news !!!!!! -- PoppyRaz, 2014-11-11 ### *---- "No alert" Not a very good app, two children reported missing in my area and no alert, sort it out!!!! -- Staceylew, 2014-11-09 ### *---- "Excellent idea, Useless as never used" Despite numerous children going missing in the UK this has never been activated. It's an excellent idea but as it's never actually used it's pointless. Shame. -- Lillibook, 2014-11-08 ### *---- "Nice idea but not working" It says no alerts in area but according to many news sources there is a missing child in the area, this says there isn't. Not to be relied upon. -- Ar72., 2014-11-07 [View all Child Rescue Alert UK reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Child Rescue Alert UK Discovered Keywords - child rescue alert uk ## Apps Similar to Child Rescue Alert UK - [The Argus](https://apptail.io/app/the-argus-ndc/united-kingdom) - [The Sunderland Echo Newspaper](https://apptail.io/app/the-sunderland-echo-newspaper-bbd/united-kingdom) - [Cornwall Live](https://apptail.io/app/cornwall-live-gpq/united-kingdom) - [Somerset Live](https://apptail.io/app/somerset-live-Oiu/united-kingdom) - [Ayrshire Live](https://apptail.io/app/ayrshire-live-zFx/united-kingdom) - [Podcast Alarm: Wake & Listen](https://apptail.io/app/podcast-alarm-wake-listen-DvLb/united-kingdom) - [Cambridgeshire Live](https://apptail.io/app/cambridgeshire-live-RvLb/united-kingdom) - [Engineering & Technology](https://apptail.io/app/engineering-technology-YCkc/united-kingdom) - [RMT Union](https://apptail.io/app/rmt-union-sJde/united-kingdom) - [The Press and Journal Live](https://apptail.io/app/the-press-and-journal-live-xgUj/united-kingdom) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
