We're pleased about the new commitment to a day 1 right to bereavement leave in today's #EmploymentRightsBill

... but to support people to take this up, the conversation must turn to pay as well

As today's #DayofReflection draws to a close, take a moment pause

It's a chance to reflect on the grief and community we share: those we remember, and those who support us🕯️

[Marie Curie @mariecurieuk]

On the #DayOfReflection, pause a moment to reflect.

Let’s acknowledge our grief, take time and space to reflect and remember, and to support one another 🕯️

Really delighted and proud to see the latest of our @CSI_KCL @ACCESSCare_CSI @MarieCurieUK funded work published in @socscimed. This work advances theories of grief by highlighting the liminality some people experience following the death of a partner: https://t.co/mtB9vJizVz

Important new report from the APPG on hospice and palliative care, looking at the patchiness and precariousness of funding, including that for bereavement support

Read the full report below👇

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

⚠️ Hospice funding needs attention.

A new report by a cross party group of MPs found that the postcode lottery of hospice funding means services they provide for dying people and their families, and the support they provide to the health system, are at risk.

[Bereavement Alliance @BereavementNBA]

We were saddened to hear of the death of Colin Murray Parkes, founding father of bereavement support and research in the UK.
Some wonderful tributes have been shared, celebrating his work, and the inspiration and support he gave to many in the field. https://t.co/KmOcd6JNwY

New report from @Tog4ShortLives based on FOI requests of all 42 ICBs finds deep disparity in @NHSEngland funding for children who need hospice care

It’s likely these are mirrored by disparities in funding of bereavement support for families
