Cemetery Operatives Training Scheme – H&S Course
The ICCM and Cruse have developed a new online training course for those working with bereaved people. The course provides an understanding of how grief can affect people, and teaches skills that can be used in our interactions to provide better support and services. The course is suitable for anyone who works with bereaved people, even those who have many years experience. ICCM Officers and Directors took part in a pilot for the course, and found that although they had a combined experience of over 100 years working in bereavement services, each learnt something new. The new knowledge and skills have proven invaluable in giving confidence to talk to and help bereaved people. Further details and a booking form for forthcoming course dates can be found below.
Please note that the cost quoted on the application form is per person, not per authority. If more than one attendee is to share a video link, each attendee must be booked onto the training course and have agreed to pay the required fee. Copyright of all training courses and materials remains with the ICCM and they must not be copied, reproduced or otherwise used without the written permission of the ICCM.
