About this service
Child Bereavement UK helps children, parents and families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. We support children and young people up to the age of 25 who are facing bereavement, and anyone affected by the death of a child of any age.
We offer free, confidential bereavement support by telephone, video or instant messenger, wherever you live in the UK.
Child Bereavement UK supports families and educates professionals when a baby or child of any age dies or is dying, or when a child is facing bereavement. Every year we train more than 10,000 professionals, helping them to better understand and meet the needs of grieving families.
In the UK, when a baby or child dies, or a child is bereaved, many of those affected are unable to access good quality support which meets their individual needs. Child Bereavement UK believes all families should have the support they need to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. Our aim is to make sure they do.

Notes
A referral is needed when wanting face-to-face or booked telephone support, this is done through either a self-referral or a third party referral via the national helpline.
Please note we can only accept third-party referrals with the family or individual's permission. No referral is needed for our national helpline, which is open to families and professionals who would like either information and advice or a confidential listening ear.
