Armed Forces: Bereavement Counselling
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 1 December 2017 to Question 115326, how many members of the (a) VO and (b) BAS teams attended bereavement counselling courses after 2014; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
If a family requires bereavement counselling they are referred to the Army Welfare Service, who will access counselling support. The Visiting Officer and Bereavement and Aftercare Support team are not trained counsellors and cannot provide this level of specialised support, so they do not attend bereavement counselling courses.
