Require staff in any educational setting to be trained on mental health

Closed 135 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to make it a legal requirement for all staff in educational settings to be trained in recognising and assisting with mental health conditions.

I struggled so much through university with my mental health as I did not receive the support I needed. I do not blame the teaching staff, but I blame the system for not having proper protocol in place for this. I don’t want anyone else to go through what I had to do.
