Read our short employer toolkit with practical advice, top tips and good practice examples to help employers, line managers and HR staff support carers through a bereavement. 

Bereavement is something many carers have to face and it is important to remember that we all cope with, and react to, the death of a loved one differently and consequently need different levels, and types, of support. If someone has been caring for a loved one for some time, don’t underestimate the impact of the bereavement – the loss can seem even greater for carers.

ACAS provide guidance for time off for bereavement and includes information on supporting an employee after a death and the benefits of a bereavement policy. To access this guidance, click here.
