Child Death Review

Royal Hospital for Children for Patients, Carers & Visitors
NHS GGC

The death of a child is the most traumatic experience any family can go through. While every family’s experience will be different, the initial days, weeks and months following your child’s death are likely to be extremely difficult.

The leaflet below contains clear information about the review process when a child dies.

The Child Death Review team will have already made a referral to Child Bereavement UK for your family.

Someone from the Child Death Review Team should already have been in touch with you and your family. If you would like to contact us we can be reached using the details below:
