ERIC, the UK’s childhood continence charity, has extended the opening hours of its confidential telephone Helpline. Children, parents and professionals will now be able to access information and support 24 hours a day, seven days a week for distressing problems including childhood bedwetting, daytime wetting, constipation, soiling and toilet training.

Childhood continence problems affect 1 in 12 children and young people in the UK and ERIC is the only organisation dedicated to providing information and support to help families manage or overcome these problems. The extended support comes from a partnership with Parentline, the confidential Helpline providing support for families on all aspects of family life
