Provide funding so every school can have a full-time school counsellor
We call on the government to require every school to have a school counsellor. Many young people face multiple mental health challenges in school and do not have someone to get help from. This must be changed. Children must not have to suffer in silence anymore.

Require every secondary school to have access to a counsellor
We want the Government to make it a legal requirement for all secondary schools to have a counsellor in school at least once a week so all secondary school students have access to have therapy through school.
Increase funding for mental health services like counselling
The government to give more money to services such as counselling to help people going through mental health problems
Provide funding for all schools to have a full time dedicated SENDCo
Currently in most schools the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo) role is often additional to being a full time class teacher. This should not be the case. The SENDCo should be a separate role in schools. This is becoming more important with the ever growing need in SEN and schools.
Increase funding for learning support in schools
Teachers and children need Teacher Assistants and Learning Support Assistants. We believe without vital help and support; teaching and education may suffer, which could have a detrimental effect on all children - not just the children with additional needs.
Provide funding to subsidise school uniforms for all children
We want the Government to provide funding to subsidise free or significantly more affordable school uniforms for all school children to help families. We believe no child should be excluded or disadvantaged from education as their family can’t afford compulsory uniform.
