Helen Shearwood and Ivy have been found since the publication of this story.

Police are growing increasingly concerned after a mum and her two-year-old daughter, who is said to have a chronic illness, have gone missing.

Officers are appealing to the public for help to find Helen Shearwood who was last seen at her home on Tuesday 13 June.

The 36-year-old is thought to have left her home in Bidston, Merseyside, with her young daughter Ivy.

But her two-year-old child is said to have a chronic illness, Merseyside Police said, and she requires medication throughout the day.
