Require all schools to offer regular counselling to students

What the petition asks
The Government should require all schools to offer regular counselling to all students, working together with social services and NHS mental health support teams, to give students a chance to speak up and be heard!
Some children will not ask for help unless given a chance. Offering regular counselling could help schools spot the signs of abuse and neglect at home and give children a chance to speak up when potentially told not to by bullies or people at home. Mental health is a big deal, this could potentially save lives of children who need to be heard.
