Despite this, survey findings published to mark Children’s Mental Health Week reveal that 53 per cent of parents think their child’s school is “good” or “very good” at supporting their children’s mental health and wellbeing.
The research questioned the views of more than 1,000 parents with children aged between five and 18.
However, it also found that around half of the respondents felt school staff and leadership needed more training on how to support children’s mental health and wellbeing, while 33 per cent said that they did not know who in their child’s school is in charge of pupil wellbeing.
The research has been published by charity Place2Be, which runs Children’s Mental Health Week.
