Provide dedicated child bereavement teams to families after the death of a child

Petition Details

After losing 2 children within 2 1/2 years my family was offered no support either during or after our hospital stay. We left the hospital with a pamphlet, a box and a broken heart.
Families are left to scour google for hours in the hope of finding support and it's just not good enough.

Additional Information

Today 17 babies will die, and these families wont have a clue where to turn as they begin their grieving process.
It is often left down to each family to source their own support at a time when they're at their most emotionally vulnerable.
There should be dedicated teams of professionals who can support families before, during and after the loss of their child for as long as necessary and it should be mandatory that these teams are in place and active in each case as soon as the need arises.
