ward grandparent scheme |
It is not always possible for families to support their child in hospital because of restrictions imposed by distance, family, work, or parental health needs. The AWCH Hospital Ward Grandparent Scheme provides ‘surrogate’ care for children in hospital.
A Ward Grandparent Volunteer:
-
is assigned to an individual child for the duration of the child’s stay in hospital
-
visits the hospitalised child on a regular basis
-
performs such activities as nursing, feeding, changing nappies, bathing, playing, talking, singing, going for walks with the child
-
does not perform any medical tasks
View the Guidelines for Implementing AWCH Hospital Ward Grandparent Scheme or check with your hospital in order to find out if they have such a scheme in place.
Contact AWCH National Office for information about setting up a scheme or how to become a ward grandparent.
