My name is Nancy McBride and I work for The National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children. Today we are going to be discussing child identification. What should you as a parent or guardian have on hand, should you have a photo? How often should it be updated? Where should you store this information? All of these issues will be discussed in today s discussion. I have been with The National Centre since 1990 and I have worked in this field for over 20 years, I have written a number of publications and articles on child safety. So let us get started, let us talk about child identification, how important it is and what you need to know.
