The report sets out a route map to enable all children and young people to: prepare for a bereavement, develop the necessary skills to cope with their grief, and access the right support when they need it, at all three stages of a bereavement \u2013 before, at the time, and after. The report concludes with seven recommendations for the Scottish Government to act upon to improve Scotland\u2019s approach to childhood bereavement.

It illustrates how we can work together to ensure those who are bereaved find empathy and support in all aspects of their life. It highlights the importance of creating a culture of care, support and compassion. Whilst accepting that every death is unique and that the way we each come to terms with a death is individual, the Charter and<br \/>\nGuidance attempts to describe bereavement support at its best. Good bereavement care is a fundamental human right and health, education and social care professionals have a key role to play. As an organisation or educational setting you can promote improved bereavement care by applying for the Charter.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit https:\/\/scottishcare.org\/bereavement\/<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/public\/healthierminds\/uploads\/sites\/18270\/2024\/07\/04130033\/Bereavement_Charter_Guidance_Notes_0123_V4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3698 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/public\/healthierminds\/uploads\/sites\/18270\/2024\/07\/04130812\/Screenshot_4-7-2024_14749_-211x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/public\/healthierminds\/uploads\/sites\/18270\/2024\/07\/04130812\/Screenshot_4-7-2024_14749_-211x300.jpeg 211w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/public\/healthierminds\/uploads\/sites\/18270\/2024\/07\/04130812\/Screenshot_4-7-2024_14749_.jpeg 614w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Community Approach to Supporting Bereavement, Loss and Grief: <\/strong><strong>Guidance for Settings and Organisations Supporting Children, Young People and Families<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In this comprehensive guidance you will find information relating to bereavement theories, impact of childhood bereavement, how children understand death at different ages, the role of practitioners and how you can support bereaved children and young people.
