Our Helpline and online services are the heart of our offer to these children and young people and the thousands of parents, carers and professionals who support them. For twenty years our Helpline service has offered high quality information, advice and guidance to hundreds of thousands of parents, carers and professionals. Demand grows every year, and our Helpline is the referral pathway into our Children and Young People’s Service, offering bereavement support across the country through remote, digital and face-to-face services (selected localities only).

This year, as part of our Transforming Delivery programme, we have added a vital new service to this list: the Family Bereavement Support Service, which works sessionally and remotely with parents and carers to help them support the grieving children and young people they are caring for.
