Supportive care resources

Information about care and support to help manage and cope with side effects during treatment for cancer

Order or download our information resources for parents, carers and families of a child or young person with cancer. These resources explain how your child’s treatment might affect them and what support is available to help reduce and manage side effects.

To help everyone access our web content we have added the ReachDeck toolbar. You can choose to have content read out loud, remove distracting content or add a screen tint with a reading pane to help focus and our web pages can be translated into over 100 languages. To try it out for yourself, click on the orange stick-man icon in the bottom left corner of the page to launch the toolbar. See our website accessibility page for more information about how the toolbar works.
