When someone is grieving, it can be difficult to know what to say, what to do or even whether to say anything at all. But good intentions alone don't always create inclusive support.

In this episode of The Equality Edit, Michelle Clayford explores the human experiences that can be overlooked in discussions of death and bereavement. From understanding what is happening and participating in a funeral to returning to work or navigating services after someone has died, inclusion can make a significant difference.

The conversation explores accessibility, communication, assumptions and the practical things people often don't think about until they need them. It offers a different way to think about bereavement support, with ideas that can help you better support colleagues, employees, customers and the people around you.
