Bereavement Support (Children and Young People) Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill aims to improve bereavement support services specifically for children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or other close person. It likely establishes or strengthens access to counselling, mental health services, and practical support through schools, NHS services, and community organisations. The bill recognises that children and young people have distinct bereavement needs that differ from adults and require tailored, ageappropriate interventions. The measures probably include funding commitments, training requirements for professionals, and coordination between education and health services.
Presented by Christine Jardine.
