Summer
sleepovers can be so difficult for young people who
wet the bed, but help is at hand for
families who contact
ERIC for the
support, information and
resources available.
Information leaflets, posters and a"‘viral email" is being
distributed nationwide.
“
Bedwetting affects half a million UK
children and teenagers every night, but the scale of the
problem remains hidden, partly because people find it
embarrassing to talk about,” said ERIC Director
Jenny Perez. “Only one in three
affected families comes forward for help. The ‘
Banish the Wee Horror’ campaign will tell
children and parents loud and clear that they are
not alone. Things can be done to
overcome or m
anage the problem and ERIC can help, with
expertise and years of
experience."
There are
many products which can help
manage bedwetting when staying away from home.
ERIC’s online shop supplies
Hippychick mattress protectors and sleeping bag liners.
For this year's
campaign ERIC is grateful to
Hippychick, Brolly Sheets Ltd, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, and
UnderJams for the
sponsorship they are providing.
