.@NAFDCEO and @RCunningfox with @DMAG2020 colleagues at the first meeting of the reconstituted @FuneralsAPPG chaired by @CatSmithMP

Valuable opportunity to discuss the detail of the @Law_Commission's proposals for burial and cremation law.

Our campaign to add proactive teaching about #bereavement in schools, led by @NAFDPresident, has taken another step forward. Responding to the petition @educationgovuk confirms it “will assess whether content on bereavement is needed” in RHSE lessons. nafd.org.uk/2023/03/15/gover…

Thank you to the 100+ people that attended tonight’s webinar, hosted by @NAFDPresident John & with support from @ProjectEileen on adding #education about loss & bereavement to the #NationalCurriculum. Fantastic support & engagement! Sign the petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

There was extensive coverage of @NAFDPresident campaign to encourage age-appropriate conversations about loss and bereavement, in schools, as part of the National Curriculum. #Funerals #FuneralDirectors nafd.org.uk/2023/01/12/bbc-n…

4/4: Help him get a good conversation started, one that will encourage the next generation to treat death as a part of life, not a taboo - by building a healthy understanding, vocabulary and dialogue around #grief and #bereavement. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

3/4: This #GriefAwarenessWeek, can you add your name to @NAFDPresident John’s petition to include awareness of death, dying and bereavement to the @educationgovuk National Curriculum? John lost his own mum at the age of 12 and knows just how isolating this experience can be.

2/4: We teach children about when life begins, why don’t we talk about how we feel and what happens when it ends? The literary, historical, sociological and scientific topics in all four key stages are rich in natural, age-appropriate conversation starters.

1/4: Every day, more than 100 young people in the UK suffer the loss of a parent, sibling or other close family member. A brutal introduction to a subject many of us still don’t like, or don’t know, how to talk about, which can make their experience of #grief even more isolating.

Huge congratulations @jmdfield OBE on being recognised for your tireless work advocating for #funeral directors and #bereaved people, particularly during #COVID19.

The NAFD has created a @Facebook group for #funeral professionals who identify as LGBTQ+ as part of a long term #equalitydiversityandinclusion initiative to ensure everyone in the sector feels visible, included & represented. facebook.com/groups/nafdprid… #pridemonth2022
