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

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.

More details
