Calls for “universal bereavement support” to be implemented in schools in West Dunbartonshire have been backed by emotional councillors, who shared their own stories of loss.
Councillor Sophie Traynor, who lost her mum to bowel cancer when she was just 16-years-old, asked council to recognise the differing levels of bereavement services for children and young people within schools across West Dunbartonshire.
She was supported by councillor Gordon Scanlon who lost his dad to lung cancer when he was just 14.
