Support for children with HIV: Outline
Children may be HIV positive, or have parents who are.
Social Services and a number of voluntary organisations work with families where a member is HIV positive to deal with any immediate problems, and to help the family plan for the long term care of children. For further information, contact your local Social Services office.
Barnardos Planning Scheme offers parents who are HIV positive or living with other life threatening illnesses the opportunity to plan for their children's future care, exploring options such as fostering, care by friends and relatives or adoption and giving high priority to the wishes of the child.
Children with AIDS Charity assists children and their families to lead as near normal a life as possible.
Grandma's (headoffice@grandmas.org.uk) is a church based organisation which aims to provide practical help to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
