Bereavement guidelinesOur bereavement guidelines, for church and community schools, aim to offer clear suggestions for coping in the event of a death in your school community:
Bereavement guidelines for Church schools | PDF Bereavement guidelines for community schools | PDF Additional appendix for COVID-19 support | PDF Bereavement resourcesWe have also put together three identical packs - each containing some 20 books along with a tactile Badger soft-toy - that have proved effective and have been recommended by those working in this area of pastoral need. Some of the books are for pupils, some for adults and others provide starting points for discussion of the “what if” scenarios. There are also links to the websites of national organisations such as The Child Bereavement Charity, Edward's Trust and locally, Nicky's Way. Due to the current situation, we are not able to lend our bereavement packs. However, please click here to see a list of the resources contained in each pack.
