5 Elephant's Tea Party Primary schools in the UK are being invited to sign up for a new awareness campaign to help pupils to cope with bereavement. Developed by Child Bereavement UK, Elephant s Tea Party is a new annual event to help teachers give children the emotional literacy and life skills needed to equip them for bereavement, now or in later life.
