Bereavement is now to be taught in schools across the North East following the Department for Education (DfE) decision to include Relationships, S*x and Health Education (RSE) guidance, meaning it is now part of the curriculum.

Children in both primary and secondary schools will receive age-appropriate teaching on issues surrounding grief, loss and the impact on relationships and families.

Many congratulations to the hard work put in by our fellow funeral directors and professional bodies to champion the support of young people facing loss.
