Sands has a library of images and text containing photographs, personal experiences and poems.
Text and images from families are very useful in helping Sands to achieve its aims as they add depth and reality to the information on the Sands website as well as in our publications for bereaved families, health professionals, policy makers, potential funding organisations, the press and public.
We would be very grateful if you would give us permission to add your item(s) to this library as specified below.
If you have sent us images that include people other than yourself, your partner, your baby or your own children you should check that those individuals or the parents or guardians of any children are happy for the image to be used by Sands. Please check this before submitting this permission form.
Once you have completed the form and we have checked and added the details to our records we will email a copy of the information back to you for your records. We advise you to store this safely.
Once your material has been added to the library we do our best to contact you if and when we plan to use any of it, providing you make sure we continue to have up-to-date contact details for you. Material could be used in one or more of the following:
