How technology could help reduce the number of missing children reported each year

Raw Labels, the retailer of labels and wristbands for kids, is talking technology and asking parents to consider purchasing a piece of kit to help keep their children safe and provide extra peace of mind on family days out.

According to statistics from Missing Kids UK, a child goes missing in the UK every three minutes. Although many of these children are reunited with their parents shortly afterwards, the panic and stress caused by a missing child cannot be understated.

And for those children who are never seen again, the grief and sadness felt by family members and friends is something that they never recover from.

With this in mind, Raw Labels is urging all parents to invest in a piece of tracking technology to help them find their children and locate their whereabouts should they become lost or wander off.

There are several pieces of wearable GPS tracker technology that can help keep children safe, from colourful wristwatches, GPS fobs that attach to backpacks and downloadable apps that can help keep an eye on the location of children of all ages.

Sven Miller from Raw Labels said “For anyone who’s experienced the sheer panic of a child that’s been distracted and strayed away from their parents, then they’ll understand just how useful these GPS trackers can be in finding their child quickly before they find themselves in a potentially unsafe situation.

Our first instinct is to search the immediate area and contact the police, but if your child has been equipped with a wearable tracking device and is wearing a re-useable ID wristband with their name and your contact number, then it significantly increases the chance of them being discovered or returned to you much faster.”

Raw Labels have been praised by parents throughout the UK for their waterproof and colourful reusable ID wristbands which are used on a regular basis when taking trips to crowded areas and for family days out.
