Alternatively, you can ask any education, social care or healthcare professional to make a referral on your behalf.

Bereavement support is available to anyone registered with a Redditch and Bromsgrove GP who have experienced a bereavement in the last three years or who has previously been supported by Primrose Hospice.

What happens next?

A member of the Family Support team will be in contact with you once a referral has been made. We aim to contact you within two weeks to arrange an assessment date for you and from this we will agree which services we consider would be most helpful to you.

Please note that some of our services operate on a waiting list system. There may be a waiting period for certain services, such as counselling and some of our specialist support groups. Your name will be added to the waiting list, and we will contact you as soon as a space becomes available.

How can I make a referral to your Children & Young People’s services?

To accept a referral we would require the following information:

• Name of Child
• DOB
• Address
• GP
• Parent/Carer’s name
• Brief information regarding the child’s situation
• Referrer’s details

Please note:

• Parents/carers must be aware of the referral
• We aim to make initial contact with the family within 10 working days
• Children can be assessed with their family or on their own.

Through assessment we will establish what support is most appropriate: one to one support or group support or a combination

Support can be offered at the Coppice Centre located at Primrose Hospice, in school or in the community as appropriate.
