The sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II has profoundly affected individuals in the UK, Commonwealth and throughout the world. Schools and colleges can help their communities understand and manage their personal and collective sense of loss, which may be exacerbated by the responses of those around them and their constant exposure to world events via the media.

In this webinar, Anna Bateman, subject matter expert on mental health and wellbeing, who has worked in an advisory role for the DfE, analyses the concept of collective grief in response to events of national and global significance. This webinar also helps education settings formulate a whole-school or college response, which helps pupils to understand, name and manage their feelings.
