    Sarah Helton

    Sarah Helton has worked in the Special Educational Needs/Disabilities (SEND) field for 25 years. Sarah specialised as a teacher for children with Profound and Multiple Barriers to Learning. Her experiences in special schools taught Sarah that life was precious and for some, far too short. Having seen a lack of acknowledgement and support for bereaved and grieving children with SEND, she decided to try and rectify this. Sarah used her experience working with grieving children to write A Special Kind of Grief - The complete guide to supporting bereavement and grief in special schools and Remembering Lucy - a story book about loss and grief in a special school. She now works as BackPocketTeacher - author, trainer and consultant in the field of child bereavement, specialising in the needs of bereaved children with SEND and in 2020 she began studying for a PhD in this field.
