Concerns are growing for a family who have been missing for three weeks.

They were reported missing by an education officer at the local authority when James did not turn up for school on March 21.

Robert is 35-years-old and a white male while Suphan is 44 and from Thailand. Their dark-haired son is of mixed white/Asian appearance and attended Ferndale Community School in Swindon.

It is understood that the family have had a number of personal problems and could have just gone elsewhere to try and start their life again.

There is no information about them going abroad and they are not wanted for any crimes.

Police said they were concerned for their welfare as no other agencies, such as the education authority, had been in contact with them for a while.

Wiltshire Police said: 'We would like to find the Goodmans as soon as possible.

'We are concerned for their welfare, which is why we are looking for them. We just want to know they are OK.

'If anyone knows of their whereabouts, please contact Wiltshire Police on 101; if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
