To help children in secondary schools feel like they can open up to people.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

To support the children that need help and not to ignore their questions about personal things which is why you should consider a room where the students can open up about things and it will be confidential so no-one would have to know about it.
I want the Government or Parliament to do it because it would help a lot of children in schools feel like they can trust the people in their school and not to dislike them in any way which would help them with their ability to open up to people instead of bottling it up inside and not to keep it to them self.

Why it was rejected

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

We understand you would like to help students feel supported in schools but we're not sure what precise action you would like the Government to take. We currently have two petitions open on a similar topic which you might like to sign:

Increase funding for mental health support in schools
Increase funding for mental health support in schools

Make Health Education a compulsory separate subject in all schools.
Make Health Education a compulsory separate subject in all schools.

You could start a new petition calling for dedicated mental health staff or student support staff in secondary schools if this is something you would like to see happen.
