Consultation responses

Bereavement touches many aspects of children and young people's lives, so relevant national policies stretch across education, mental health and wellbeing, welfare benefits, end of life care, support after suicide and many other issues. We regularly feed in to national policy consultations from government and other groups to make sure that grieving children's needs are addressed. CBN members have a chance to feed in to consultation responses. Read some of our recent responses here.
