What the petition asks
I think that all children deserve to have access to an independent person who they can share their worries and fears with as they need within their school days not having to wait to fit criteria set by others and disturbing their life creating differences between them and other children.
I am a surviving school phobic and didn’t receive the right help. In 1981 whilst studying community and youth work and social work I went on an exchange to Berlin and found social workers in schools.
