As the mother of Ben Needham, I know the pain of no answers. Families face unequal support. We call on the UK Government to fund a centralised team to ensure fair, equal help for all missing children cases. so no family fights alone.

Families of missing children in the UK face an unfair and inconsistent system, where support, funding, and resources vary widely between cases. No family should have to struggle alone or feel their child matters less because of circumstance or attention. This petition calls on the UK Government to establish a fully funded, centralised team to ensure equal support, resources, and long-term assistance for all families of missing children—so that no one is left to fight for answers on their own.
