Information for Parents

 

A Welcome to all parents and those who care for children. If you look at our history you will see that we are a well established charity and we have been working to improve the quality of care of children's health for a long time.

 

Now we would like you to help us. Will you please tell us whether you have found out information useful and what other information you would like to have.

 

Children's health services are under review, like all the rest of the NHS and there is no doubt that there will be changes. Help us to monitor these changes by contacting us and letting us know how they are affecting your children. You may rest assured that no names of any contributor or any information that you give wil be personally attributed. Any summaries of this information will be quite without real names. Look at the NICE page to find out how you can have a hand in shaping future NHS services.

 

Although much of our work is done by volunteering members, every organisation needs financial support. Help to support us by becoming a friend for just £5 per year. You will receive a certificate to show that you are a friend.

 

If you need help or advice, please ring our helpline number: 0800 0744 519
