Family Liaison For Senior Management & Leaders
Learn to break bad news to family members and provide appropriate support
Description

In this training you will learn how to do that. But you’ll also learn about the next steps: although a designated Family Liaison Officer will often continue that relationship with the family, it is important that leadership understands the purpose and boundaries of the Family Liaison role.

- Understand what Family Liaison is and how it fits within a Crisis Management Team
- Learn how to select the right team member for the Family Liaison role
- Recognise the importance of leadership in delivering bad news
