Resources for children with additional needs

We recommend that you fill in the paediatric hospital passport and the reasonable adjustment requests form for your child. 

Once completed, please bring them with you to any visits to the hospital. The information in the documents will aid staff to put reasonable adjustments in place to help improve your childs hospital experience. We are unable to guarantee that all requests will be met but appropriate consideration will be made.
