To have a member of staff trained in mental health first aid in all UK schools.

Petition Details

To make having one designated member of staff that is qualified to practice mental health first aid compulsory. This is because, in primary and secondary schools one in six students are most likely to suffer with a mental health condition. We believe that we all have the right to support.

Additional Information

We would like to make it compulsory for every school to train or employ a member of staff in the mental health services.
