Help us turn Ask Me: Education into a national movement by sharing it with your networks

Below is a template letter/email you can download and adapt to send to your leadership team, a poster to put up in your staff room or on your intranet and some images you can share on your social media. Here is some suggested wording:

Right now, at least one child or young person in every classroom across the UK is grieving the death of a parent or sibling. It’s time for a new approach to supporting bereaved students. No more one-size-fits-all bereavement policies. Instead of assuming, ask them one simple but powerful question: What do you need and how can we support you? 

I’ve signed and implemented the Ask Me: Education Manifesto and Bereavement Plans. Will you join the movement? winstonswish.org/askme
