One of Sands’ core objectives is to ensure that every bereaved parent receives the highest standard of bereavement care possible. Feedback to Sands from healthcare professionals has highlighted a need for a specific toolkit of resources to support the implementation and embedding of the NBCP.
We have developed this toolkit in order to equip healthcare professionals with the resources they need to help bereavement care standards to ‘stick’, and to embed the NBCP standards.
There are currently six modules in the toolkit: Parent Engagement, Being Strategic, Working Together, Staff Wellbeing, Supporting Diverse Families, and Care Outside the Hospital.
We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to the development of this toolkit, including Gail Johnson (former RCM Education Advisor), the NBCP Core Group, the Professional Advisory Group, and the healthcare staff and Donna Ockenden who generously contributed their time to be interviewed in the videos.

NBCP Padlets
Sands have developed a set of Resource Padlets to support bereavement care.
These resources are to share information and ideas with staff providing bereavement care across all settings.
