This informative workshop has been developed to help SENDCos, teachers and school leaders to support young learners during, or leading up to a period of bereavement.

It's specifically designed to equip school communities to support the complex emotional needs of children with SEND by:
- Helping them cope with or prepare for the death of a loved one.
- Developing a sensitive support strategy that reflects the way that EYFS learners with SEND process complex and upsetting events in their lives.
- Supporting the emotional needs of learners in your care during what will be an extremely difficult time for them.
- Creating a caring environment which ensures good mental health is safeguarded during or leading up to the process of bereavement.
OUR MISSION

- We can achieve this by providing families and professionals with the guidance they need to fully understand the implications of being Deaf in a hearing world.
