Sands has supported bereaved families and and professionals for over 40 years.
Through our consultancy services we help organisations develop and implement best practice to ensure bereaved parents receive the support they need when they need it most.
We can support statutory, voluntary and corporate services on all issues relating to the death of a baby, ensuring that organisations and individuals have the knowledge, skills and confidence to work with the bereaved.
Health Care
Sands consultancy works with with health care Trusts and Boards to ensure staff are supported and bereaved families receive the best possible care.
We use national guidelines as a starting point and work with organisations to find optimal ways to incorporate this guidance into clinical practice, in often challenging environments and with limited resources.
Whether it is advice on specific issues, the development of a parent-centred bereavement care service or broader training requirements for staff, we have the knowledge and expertise to help.
Bereavement in the workplace
There are many things that employers can do to support staff who have experienced a bereavement. Central to this is an awareness amongst management about the impact of pregnancy loss and the death of a baby, and having policies and procedures in place to support staff returning to work.
Sands can provide a tailored service to meet the needs of any organisation, visit here to find out more about our bereavement in the workplace services.
