The Police and Bereaved Parents

UK Helpline: 0345 123 2304 | www.tcf.org.uk Who are the Compassionate Friends? The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is a charitable organisation of bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents dedicated to the support and care of other similarly bereaved family members who have suffered the death of a child or children of any age and from any cause. We offer support, both directly to bereaved families, and indirectly by fostering understanding and good practice amongst professionals concerned with child death and by increasing public awareness of parental grief. TCF has no religious affiliation and offers support to bereaved families irrespective of the age of the child (from a baby of a few weeks old to an adult son or daughter) or cause of death. Parents and family members can find support and information about our services by calling our Helpline on 0345 123 2304 or at helpline@tcf.org.uk . Our website at www.tcf.org.uk/support also has information about our services and support for bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents. We can supply, free of charge, to any police force, training college or family liaison officer printed information about our services to give to bereaved families. Please contact us at info@tcf.org.uk or 0345 120 3785 to order copies.
