New resources for workplaces - Bereavement Charter Mark case studies

The Bereavement Charter Mark Process has been designed to be accessible and achievable, and workplaces can work towards the various criteria independently.

Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care (SPPC) wanted to know more about the different approaches that might be taken to this process, what challenges or obstacles a workplace might face and what they found helpful. 

In 2025 they launched their Pilot Support Scheme. SPPC worked with three different workplaces to look more closely at the journey towards achieving the Charter Mark, offering bespoke support while learning about the kind of successes and challenges different workplaces might have along the way.

All three workplaces were awarded the Bereavement Charter Mark for Workplaces, and collaborated with SPPC to produce a case study detailing their process.  Read more about the journeys of Simba Charity,  a ward at St John’s Hospital, and Media Education here: Bereavement Charter Mark for Workplaces: Pilot Support Scheme | Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief
