Building Support Systems for Bereaved Children

8 October 2025

92% of children and young people will experience a 'significant' bereavement before the age of 16 and 1 in 25 school age children will have been bereaved of a parent or sibling. (Winston's Wish). Therefore bereavement is, or will be, a significant issue for the majority of children and young people before they leave statutory school age. Schools therefore have a key role to play in providing bereavement support, and yet death remains an issue many of us find uncomfortable, difficult, or even traumatic to talk about.

This course offers support, guidance and information about managing bereavement within a school setting. It considers the impacts of a significant bereavement on children, linking this to child development, and explores some of the ways in which children process and display grief. It addresses what other factors may impact on children's experiences of death and dying, including complicated grief and protective factors.
