| dc.description | The scoping study confirmed both an interest in and a perceived need for a network among practitioners working in childhood bereavement. Stakeholders acknowledged that some areas of service delivery were working well, with good community group programmes and independent practitioners available in some areas. The weaknesses highlighted by the stakeholders who attended focus groups included: a feeling of isolation in the work, the lack of a comprehensive directory of children’s bereavement services, the lack of any forum for information exchange and knowledge dissemination and the impact of financial and staffing cuts. The study concluded that, subject to the allocation of baseline funding, such a network has the potential to positively impact on the weaknesses identified in bereavement services for children and young people in Ireland. | en_GB |
