Supports the continence requirements for children and young people with severe learning disabilities who are not yet toilet trained
How it can help
The Paediatric Service offers a contribution of products (nappies / pads) and will deliver them to you.
They provide guidance on how to store and use the products.
Your child’s continence products will need to be reviewed on a regular basis by a member of their team.
