Bereavement and Loss

We have compiled a substantial resource Bereavement and Loss to give school leaders support and ideas when dealing with this sensitive situation.

"Some of the most poignant moments I have experienced in over forty years as a Christian minister have been in schools following a death in their community ... There are no simple formulae for such occasions. There could not be a more timely or helpful resource."
From the Forward by Rt Revd Dr Alan Wilson, Bishop of Buckingham to 'Bereavement and Loss'
