Questions
Before your organisation uses the pack
Is registration or a backlink required?
No. Organisations may link to the family-facing resource without registration, purchase, backlink exchange, or affiliation.
Does the pack reproduce the complete poem?
No. The professional pack does not reproduce the complete Rainbow Bridge poem and makes no public-domain or copyright-free claim.
Can we add our organisation’s name?
You may add your team sign-off to the approved short communication templates. Do not imply endorsement or remove version information from the pack.
Is this clinical or crisis guidance?
No. It supports communication and resource delivery. Clinical, crisis, legal, and faith-specific needs should follow your organisation’s established protocols.
How often should we review it?
Check links and print stock quarterly. Review the full pack annually, or sooner when your protocols, linked resources, accessibility requirements, or rights guidance change.
Give your team language they can trust.
Give families a choice they can receive.
