• Season 2: Episode 3 - The Role of the FLO
    Jan 29 2025

    In today's episode we are chatting to Stewart Nicol from West Mercia Police about the role of the Family Liaison Coordinator in the aftermath of a sudden and unexpected death.

    We discuss how the role works, what families can expect and how these professionals are looked after by the Police Force and charities like 2wish. It's vital that any professional working in the bereavement industry remembers that 'You Can't Pour From an Empty Cup' and that 2wish is here for you!
