Outline:
The Childhood Bereavement Network estimates that 2.7% of children in Norfolk have experienced the death of a parent or sibling.
Description:
Children who are bereaved often turn to adults they have a trusting relationship with, and within schools this can be any member of staff.
This course will give an overview of children’s needs after a bereavement, and will also explore the specific role that school staff can play. We will look at some typical issues that schools are faced with, and consider what role school can take pro-actively in preparing for and helping children following a bereavement.
Outcome:
Aims of the Training Event
