This will enable us to support both the child and thefamily wherever we can and helps us to understand any potential changes in behaviour of a child who may be grieving themselves<\/li>\n<li>The key person and\/or the manager will talk with the family to ascertain what support is needed or wanted from the nursery. This may be an informal discussion or a meeting away from the child to help calm a potentially upsetting situation<\/li>\n<li>The child may need extra support or one-to-one care during this difficult time. We will adapt our staffing arrangements so the child is fully supported by the most appropriate member of staff on duty, where possible the child\u2019s key person<\/li>\n<li>We will be as flexible as possible to adapt the sessions the child and family may need during this time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will adapt the above procedure as appropriate when a family pet dies to help the child to understand their loss and support their emotions through this time.<\/p>\n<p>We also recognise that there may also be rare occasions when the nursery team is affected by a death of a child or member of staff. This will be a difficult time for the staff team, children and families. Below are some agencies that may be able to offer further support and counselling if this occurs.<\/p>\n<p>The Samaritans: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samaritans.org\">www.samaritans.org<\/a>116 123<\/p>\n<p>Child Bereavement UK: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.childbereavementuk.org\">www.childbereavementuk.org<\/a> \u00a001494 568 900<\/p>\n<p>Cruse Bereavement Care: https:\/\/www.cruse.org.uk\/ \u00a00808 808 1677<\/p>\n<p>British Association of Counselling: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bacp.co.uk\">www.bacp.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SANDS: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sands.org.uk\">www.sands.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\">This Policy was adopted on<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Signed on Behalf of Pitter Patter Play Ltd<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">Date for review<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\">25\/04\/2024<\/td>\n<td width=\"200\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\">April 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2 bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal bt_bb_icon_size_normal bt_bb_text_size_normal bt_bb_separator_v2_without_content\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner\"><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_before\"><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_content\"><span  data-ico-=\"&#x;\" class=\"bt_bb_icon_holder\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"bt_bb_separator_v2_inner_after\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div data-bb-version=\"4.8.4\" class=\"bt_bb_icon bt_bb_color_scheme_15 bt_bb_text_color_scheme_5 bt_bb_style_borderless  bt_bb_semitransparent_text bt_bb_align_content_top bt_bb_size_large bt_bb_shape_circle bt_bb_align_inherit bt_bb_title_size_normal bt_bb_hidden_xs bt_bb_hidden_ms bt_bb_hidden_sm bt_bb_hidden_md bt_bb_hidden_lg bt_bb_hidden_xl\" style=\"font-size: 19px;; --primary-color:var(--alternate-color); --secondary-color:var(--accent-color);; --text-primary-color:#282828; --text-secondary-color:var(--accent-color);\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_align_content_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_content_top&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;top&quot;},&quot;bt_bb_size_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_size_large&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;large&quot;},&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_inherit&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;}}\"><span  data-ico-remixiconssystem=\"&#xe944;\" class=\"bt_bb_icon_holder\"><span>Mae angen i bob plentyn a pherson ifanc chwarae.
