Supporting bereaved families

This checklist has been created to guide schools through the tasks to be completed and considered when a student experiences the death of a parent or guardian.

It has been compiled with parental loss in mind, however, it can also be applied to families who have experienced the death of a child.

We welcome requests directly from schools and from families to share with their school/s.

“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.”
