The death of a parent, sibling, or someone close, is one of the most traumatic experiences a pupil may face. Grief can have a profound impact on their emotional wellbeing, behaviour, relationships, and ability to engage with learning.
As every child experiences and processes loss differently, it is essential that school staff feel confident and prepared to recognise grief and respond in a supportive and sensitive way.
This course provides school staff with a clear understanding of how bereavement affects children and young people, and practical guidance on how to support pupils during such a difficult time. By equipping your staff with this knowledge, your school will be better prepared to support bereaved pupils, safeguard their wellbeing, and help them remain engaged in school life.
