How to explain death to a child with SEND - A session for parents and carers
There’s no easy way to talk about death with any child.
When your child has SEND, it can feel even harder. The usual scripts don’t always land. The questions come at odd times, or not at all. And you’re often grieving too.
We’re joined by Sarah from Child Bereavement UK, the charity that helps families rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies.
In this 30-minute live session, we’ll cover:
How to explain death to a child with SEND in a way they can understand
How to tell if, and how, they’re coping
How to support them well, including on the hard days
What Child Bereavement UK offers families, and how to reach them
The last 10 minutes are for your questions.
📅 Wednesday 18th November, 10am, on Zoom

You don’t need to have the right words. You just need somewhere to start.
