Standards for Supporting Bereaved Children and Young People
The ‘Standards for Supporting Bereaved Children and Young People – A Framework for Development’ 2023, illustrate a way forward in the promotion of the child or young person’s voice in Irish society, in order that their needs may be appropriately recognised and supported when they are bereaved. We use the language of standards to illustrate a multi-layered vision for bereavement support to emphasise the highest level of care that our bereaved children and young people deserve.
Hosted by Irish Childhood Bereavement Network and Irish Hospice Foundation Local Bereavement Networks.
