A funeral director who launched a petition to get bereavement support included in the national curriculum has reached enough signatures to force the Government to respond.
John Adams of Perry & Phillips Funeral Directors in Bridgnorth launched his campaign in October last year.
"I'm delighted we have reached 10,000 signatures," he said."Every 22 minutes a child will lose a parent in the UK and that doesn't account for siblings, other relatives or even pets that die. "I lost my mum, Maria, at 12 years of age and my school did not know how to talk to me about it," he recalled."If more schools start talking about bereavement I believe the outcome will be a kinder, more compassionate and empathetic society."
