Introduce a statutory bereavement policy into primary and secondary schools.

A recent survey found that approximately 1 in 29 children suffer the loss of a parent or sibling, which equates to roughly 1 child per class. Growing up with the pressures of school and society is difficult enough for children, but the addition of grief can make it an even tougher process - leading to mental health struggles and behavioural issues. This is why it is vital for schools to help children to process the emotions that follow the impact of loss.
