Abstract

This rapid response raises challenges to Dawson et al’s (2023) recent proposals for mandatory grief education  in schools; in particular, it considers curriculum crowding, the limitations of legal mandates and initial-teacher education. It proposes collaborative working between specialist groups as a way forward.
