Main Conference<\/p>\n

<\/strong>We are pleased to be joined for our conference by the speakers below, who will cover a range of pertinent topics around sudden and traumatic bereavement in schools.<\/p>\n

Our day will be chaired by Dawn Allan, Spiritual Care Lead,<\/em> NHS Dumfries & Galloway<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDawn has 14 years’ experience as a healthcare and\u00a0specialist palliative care chaplain and a former national executive role with the Association of Hospice & Palliative Care Chaplains. One of Dawn\u2019s passions is enabling people to talk about death and dying before they need to, so that when the time comes and there is no choice, they have already shared things like, what their wishes might be with loved ones.<\/p>\n
