Written Question
Secondary Education: Counselling
Tuesday 6th December 2016

Asked by: Baroness Fall (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what percentage of secondary schools in England have an in-house counsellor; and what was the corresponding figure in 2010.

Answered by Lord Nash

Children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing is a priority for this Government.

Schools are able to decide on the most appropriate support to provide for their pupils, including school-based counselling, based on their individual circumstances. To inform their decisions the Government has published advice, drawn up with experts, on how to provide effective access to counselling support.

We do not require schools and colleges to report centrally on the support they provide so do not hold the information requested. However, to inform further policy development, we are currently conducting a nationally representative survey of schools and colleges about what they offer to support the mental health of their pupils and students. The results should be available next spring and will provide national estimates of the proportion of schools and colleges which make different types of provision, including school-based counselling.
