Make it mandatory that all schools+colleges have atleast 1 full time counsellor

Petition Details

Mental health is an issue which just seems to be getting worse, the NHS is already under pressure and mental health isn't improving throughout the UK. All schools and colleges should have atleast one trained counsellor to help students and even staff, while taking the pressure of the NHS.

Additional Information

I attend one college in Cornwall which has recently had all counsellors fired in order to meet appropriate budget cuts. The education system should care just as much about their pupils health as they do about their grades.
