People are often at a loss as to know what to say or do to help someone who has suffered a bereavement, as death and loss can be difficult to talk about. These difficulties are often heightened when the bereavement is being experienced by a child. Children, like adults, will grieve in different ways and their responses to a bereavement will depend on their age, their understanding of the situation and their relationship with the person who has died. 

By becoming better informed about how bereavement can affect children of all ages, and about the range of support that may be required to help them to better deal with, process and cope with the emotional challenges associated with bereavement and grief, we can all be in a better position to provide the most appropriate support that a child may need.

The Childhood Bereavement Network has identified that children living in disadvantaged areas are more likely to be bereaved, as mortality rates vary by social class and geography and are higher in these areas. Also, they have stated that some groups of children may be more likely to experience particular kinds of bereavement, for example mortality rates among disabled young people with complex health needs are higher than among the general population, so young people attending special schools are probably more likely to be bereaved of a friend than their peers in mainstream schools. 

The increase in knife crime on the streets of the UK has inevitably brought an increase in young people’s deaths, leaving behind not only bereaved, grieving friends and families, but also bereaved, grieving communities. In the 12 months to March 2022, 78 young people aged under 25 years were murdered with a knife or sharp object and 10 were aged under 16 years. Knife crime has surged by 5% in the past year (2023), according to the latest release from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), marking a concerning rise in violence across England and Wales.
