The Child Death Helpline

Description

The Child Death Helpline aims to provide a quality Freephone service to anyone affected by the death of a child of any age. Callers to the helpline might be parents, grandparents, siblings, other family members, friends or involved professionals. They offer a confidential, safe environment within which a caller can talk openly about the child’s life and death. Callers are given the opportunity to freely express their worries and emotions.

The helpline is staffed by volunteers, all of whom are bereaved parents. All of the volunteers are trained, supervised and supported by professional teams within Great Ormond Street Hospital for
Children NHS Trust and the Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust.

The helpline is a partnership between professionals and parents working together to provide a professional service to anyone affected by the death of a child of any age.
