Crohn's and Colitis UK offers a wide range of services for people with
IBD including an Information Service over the telephone and by email, a confidential
listening service called Crohn's and Colitis Support (formerly NACC-in-Contact), Personal Grants to help those
on a low income who have a specific need arising from their IBD,
Guidance on claiming Disability Living Allowance, information on
counsellors for IBD, and a support network for children with IBD and
their parents including a Parent-to-Parent telephone helpline.
We provide a wide range of information sheets and booklets for people
living with IBD, their families and friends, including leaflets for
employers, schools, universities and general nurses. Most of these
publications are now downloadable from this website, and all are
available from our Information Service. Crohn's and Colitis members are
sent a free quarterly newsletter and a free information pack.
As
NACC, Crohn's and Colitis UK was one of the first organisations to be
certified as a quality provider of health and social care information
under the Information Standard certification scheme. This standard tests
whether organisations have methods and systems to ensure that the
information they produce for the public is accurate, impartial,
balanced, based on the evidence, accessible, and well written. It was
developed to help you identify quality information you can trust. As a
certified member, we are now entitled to display the Information
Standard (IS) logo on our published materials.
