Professional grief and bereavement

A 3-hour webinar which will raise delegate awareness of individuals’ unique grief journey following bereavement. There will be consideration of the impact of bereavement and loss on children, adults, and wider family members. Those attending the training will be supported to reflect on the conversations they have in practice, considering the nature of those conversations within their role.

This training session is being offered in response to recommendations from a Child Safeguarding Practice Review.

The session is suitable for all those working in any setting, who may encounter people who are living with grief.

It is intended to enhance your understanding of bereavement, to support and enhance best practice, (not to offer counselling training). It will enable practitioners to be professionally curious, to understand how to ask deeper questions, to be comfortable with the language they use and to effectively manage emotional responses which they may observe or receive.
