Research by the organisation’s early years team shows that almost half (48 per cent) of early years workers have worked with children who had experienced the bereavement of a parent or sibling.

Staff are being offered the chance to attend a free webinar Supporting Bereaved Children in Early Years Settings.

Speakers include Beck Ferrari, a child bereavement specialist and cognitive behavioural therapist who has worked as both a teacher and special educational needs co-ordinator. 

Ferrari previously ran a child bereavement service for Kent County Council for a number of years, where she developed a range of bereavement resources and training designed specifically for early years settings, organisers said.
