ongoing health appointments
If your child has a learning difficulty or disability or an ongoing medical condition, they may have to attend quite a few more healthcare appointments and assessments than their peers. Sometimes it can feel like being your child’s personal manager, juggling appointments and supervising treatment at home.
mental health and wellbeing
Many children experience periods of anxiety, insecurity or low mood from time to time, but if these feelings grow or persist they may need support with their mental health and wellbeing.
healthcare complaints
Our GPs, hospitals and specialist services most often do a great job. However, occasionally, you may not be happy with the treatment your child receives or, in extreme cases, feel you have a right to compensation or legal redress. This section tells you about making a complaint about healthcare.
