A voice for children.
All those concerned with the welfare of sick children, both in hospital and in the community, have an important birthday to celebrate this year. NAWCH, an independent voluntary organisation, was started 30 years ago as a partnership between parents and professionals who were committed to improving the welfare of children in hospital. In the early 60s little emphasis was placed on the emotional needs of sick children and many hospitals restricted parental visiting to a few hours a week.
