From 2 to 8 December 2025, the UK marks National Grief Awareness Week, a campaign led by the Good Grief Trust to raise understanding of grief, normalise conversations about loss, and ensure no one grieves alone. As organisations increasingly recognise the profound impact bereavement has on mental health, performance, and workplace culture, this week highlights a crucial message: compassionate grief support is not a courtesy; it is a governance, safeguarding, and well-being priority. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and employment, National Grief Awareness Week 2025 reinforces the need for trauma-informed policies, confident leadership, and accessible pathways of support. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how organisations can strengthen bereavement responses, embed dignity into policy and practice, and use ComplyPlus™ to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and safe as they navigate grief.
