John Holland, of the Humberside Special Needs Support Service, and Corinne Ludford, who teaches at the Bridlington School, North Humberside, cosider the effects of bereavement on children in schools and suggest ways of helping them. Evidence indicates that bereavement can impact heavily on the child resulting in vulnerability. The consequent problems were recognied in the recent Code of Practice on the Identification & Assessment of Special Educational Needs (1994) as potentially affecting the progress of children. Bereavement and associated problems are discussed in the context of the authors' small scale research in secondary schools in Humberside, and ways of helping the bereaved child in order to reduce special educational needs are suggested.
