Mandate Mental Health Training for All School Staff Who Work With Children

Mandate Mental Health Training for All School Staff Who Work With Children — 919 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Require all staff working with children in schools to receive mandatory training to identify children in mental health crisis through behavioural changes, not just physical signs, so early intervention supports development and wellbeing.

Additional details

Children’s mental health is vital to learning and development, yet signs of crisis may often be missed because staff may focus on physical changes instead of behaviour. We urge the Government to make mental health training mandatory for all staff working with children in schools to ensure early intervention, prevent harm, and save lives.
