Today's 'tell-all' media style and current world events have resulted in children being more aware of death and dying than most adults realise. Few things in life are guaranteed, but dying is one of them. This reality means that death and bereavement are subjects that schools cannot ignore even if they might want to. In the UK:very day around 60 children and young people are bereaved of their mother or father Every day eight children and young people die as a result of illness or accident Approximately 70% of primary schools have at least one recently bereaved pupil on roll.
