The network sessions will contain elements of, but not limited to:

• Facilitated peer-support on the impact of bereavement in CYP
• Reflective discussion on the Bereavement Workshop understanding and implementation within your schools
• School case studies on bereavement, e.g. lessons learnt and examples of good practice

• 10-15 minute of time dedicated to Q&A. Questions may be submitted prior to the 'network session' for the provider to answer in the network session
