According to published statistics, around 70 per cent of schools have a bereaved pupil in their care at any give time, yet many schools are not prepared and equipped to manage this.
This book, written by an experienced primary teacher working alongside the charity Child Bereavement UK, is an excellent and well-developed resource.
The stated aim is to help children to understand that death and dying is not something to be afraid of, and that it is okay to talk about it. It also has a secondary function as it can be an invaluable “emergency” resource to support bereaved children in school.
