Bereavement and loss resources

Bereavement policy - template for schools to adopt

Our Bereavement Policy is available for you to download. This policy contains some suggested guidelines for letters to send out and various other ideas for that might support you to manage the situation.

Resources held at the diocesan office

There are resources for every child in the diocese who experiences a bereavement. These resources are age appropriate and include books and a toy to support the child or pupil.

The books given to the pupil, are especially written to help a child through this very difficult period of grief and trauma. The diocese will gift these resources to the pupil to keep.

 

Leadership resources

The Church of England have produced 'Never the same: a School Leadership Resource for Grief, Bereavement and Loss'. Please also read the accompanying Guidance Letter from Heather Tetchner
