In every classroom, in every school across the country there are students who have been bereaved, whose parents have separated and divorced and there are those who are in the care of the local authority or seeking asylum. Others may experience ongoing loss where a parent or sibling has chronic physical or mental health problems, drug or alcohol addiction or enduring disability following traumatic incidents.

All front line staff in schools have a duty of care towards these young people - though often they fear that they may 'make things worse'. This course will help to remove this anxiety and build confidence in responding effectively and sensitively.
