Information for Mum's & Dad's

We've teamed up with two great partners to bring you clear and accurate information leaflets. We've also got a whole host of pictures (worth a thousand words) so you can understand your child's diagnosis. Please remember that every child and every heart is just a little bit different. Our members understand this and so may explain a situation differently to what you might find here.
