Wales 'leading the way' in protecting children’s mental health

Wales is leading the way in protecting children’s mental health according to children's charity, Barnardo's.

A new report by a think tank highlights reasearch which shows that 88% of 11-18 year olds who accessed in-school counselling in Wales in 2015/16 did not require further referral to specialist services.

Now think tank 'ResPublica' are calling on the Westminster government to follow the example set in Wales by making in-school counselling mandatory for all children over the age of 11.
