Little Havens is the only place in the area wholly dedicated to caring for those with complex or incurable conditions.
We can care for children and young people up to the age of 25, and their families, from Essex and the surrounding London boroughs. Initial contact may be made either by a parent or carer, or any professional directly involved in the care of a child. Anyone making a referral must have the consent of the parent/guardian or young person.
Our eligibility criteria is based on the Together For Short Lives definitions. Some children will need further assessment to determine if they fit into a category.
This list is to be used as a guide only and is not exhaustive of the eligible conditions.
Please download our referral form here, and once completed you can submit your referral to Little Havens using the form below.
