This practical resource provides everything you need to enable your school to provide the best possible support for pupils and staff who have suffered a loss or bereavement.

The book includes a school 'audit' to allow full assessment and evaluation of your school's current bereavement provision, and a full set of photocopiable training exercises for in-school staff bereavement training. It considers the important and unique role the school can play in supporting bereaved pupils and staff, and provides valuable guidance on how to create a school bereavement policy.

A unique and accessible resource that is applicable to all levels of schooling, the book will be a valuable addition to the shelves of pastoral care teams, school counsellors, teachers and other school staff, bereavement counsellors and trainers, as well as psychologists.
