Abstract

Compassionate Schools are places that recognises serious illness, caregiving, death, loss and grief as inherent aspects of life in schools. They pay attention to such experiences through a variety of activities aimed at changing attitudes and increasing knowledge and skills of both students and staff, so they are better equipped to support themselves and each other during times of hardship.

This 'How-to Guide' provides inspiration and tips for anyone willing to develop education ad support around serious illness, caregiving, death, dying and bereavement in primary and secondary education.
