Rejected petition Make it law that all high schools have fully-trained mental health staff present

Parliament should make a law that means it is mandatory that High-Schools in England have to have a properly trained mental-health professional in the premise 24/7 for students years 7-11

More details

High-School is such a stressful time for not only new years, but all years. It is a big change and with the heinous rise in mental health cases for teenagers, schools should have a fully-trained and able member of staff to not only listen to student mental health, but help them. With a 24/7 member of staff present in schools, fully-trained and passionate about others wellbeing and saftey this could be a great thing for High-Schools being affected by a mass increase in bad mental-health.
