Grief is something that affects us all, yet for many people it remains a difficult and often unspoken topic. On average, 1 in 29 children aged 5 to 16 has experienced the death of someone close. This means that, in the average classroom, at least one child is likely to be grieving.
From September 2026, grief education will form part of the PSHE curriculum, helping to ensure that children and young people have the knowledge, understanding and confidence to talk about bereavement and support one another. By introducing conversations about grief in an age-appropriate way, schools can help normalise a natural part of life, reduce feelings of isolation, and encourage children and young people to seek support when they need it.
Creating a more grief aware society starts with education.
