If the destination country is outside of the 1980 Hague Convention, you should speak to us so that we can discuss other options. It may be possible to make an application to the courts in this country, or you may need to seek legal advice from a specialist in the country your child has been taken to. If you believe your child is at risk of harm or you do not know where they are, you should also consider contacting the police.
