A Bereavement Charter for Children and Adults in Scotland

Scotland's first Bereavement Charter for Children and Adults continues to be developed by a coalition of individuals and organisations including NES. The group has progressed a number of new areas as below:

• An updated edition of the Charter Guidance Notes edited and revised by subject experts which includes 2 new sections on 'Remote & Rural considerations' & 'Sudden & Traumatic Death'
• Development of a hints & tips guide for organisations using the Charter which is currently being piloted in Inverclyde
• A poster displayed at the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care’s Autumn Season Virtual Poster Exhibition
• Collaborative working with colleagues in Northern Ireland on the development of their own Charter
• Raising awareness via webinars, social media, a workshop at the 2022 Festival of Learning and meetings with MSPs
