INTRODUCE MENTAL HEALTH NURSES TO ALL UK HIGH SCHOOLS · petition

What the petition asks

90% of our children go through some form of mental health problem between the most important years of there life.
i remember being at school and was labelled ‘NAUGHTY’ was this the case or was I purely ‘MISUNDERSTOOD’ and this is the case for a high number of our schools pupils.

you cannot ask a monkey and an elephant to climb the same tree and this metaphor should be carried forward through our whole campaign.No child is naughty and every child has problems going on throughout there school years some more than most

if we push for these changes to start from a younger age then the next generation and for generations to come our world stands a better chance at beating the biggest virus our planet has ever come across, #ourselves

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about how some schools handle students with mental health issues, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do about this.

Deciding what support staff to have on school premises is a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Fund free Mental Health First Aider training for 1 adult in every school: Fund free Mental Health First Aider training for 1 adult in every school

Provide additional funding to schools for Y10-13 mental health support: Provide additional funding to schools for Y10-13 mental health support.

We could accept petitions calling for additional actions like the above, if there are other types of support you want the Government to fund.
