Expertly written leaflets, guides, booklets, factsheets and charts to help with children's bowel and bladder problems. Our resources are based on the latest clinical research and recommendations. The materials are available below for you to download for free.

How to order printed guides

If you would like to place an order for printed copies, the charge is £20 for up to 750 leaflets and £30 for up to 1500. We can supply a small selection of printed guides free of charge to children's centres, health visitors, school nurses, GP surgeries, and other health, education and family services.

To place an order, please email [email protected] and include a delivery address in your email.

We regret that we're unable to send out printed copies of the guides marked 'download only'.

Leaflet orders are packaged by volunteers and, due to high demand, may take up to a month to arrive.
