Rejected petition English secondary schools need school counsellors

More details

School Counsellors should be made statutory in England. We're a group of young citizens who believe this change should happen. It is statutory to have school Counsellors in Northern Ireland and Wales, why not England? After all, this is our future.

Our campaign is about everyone coming together and understanding the importance of school Counsellors and the positive impact they can have on young peoples lives. We underestimate that there will be students, pupils and young people all around the country that will need this help but don't have access to it. Counselling could save people's lives and change them for the better too.

Please help us make this change and raise awareness of the importance of Counselling in England. After all 'this is our future'
