CBN Research Project

As part as our drive for quality, we are taking part in a research project led by the Childhood Bereavement Network (CBN). The project will bring together bereavement services from across the country to look at what support works best for bereaved children, and how we can best measure the impact of the work we do. We are excited to collaborate with CBN on this project.
