Great news that grief education will now be included in the new statutory guidance on Relationships, Health and S*x Education in schools. This is a positive step which has been championed over several years by many in the sector, including the Childhood Bereavement Network, Child Bereavement UK, Winston’s Wish, and our Funeral Industry Advisor John Adams.

Grief education will help ensure that children will learn about change and loss, including bereavement, and how it can provoke a range of feelings. We hope this will help schools to support children and young people to talk openly about grief and bereavement, helping them to better cope with their own bereavements and support others with compassion.
