Teachers are concerned over a lack of access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in schools, with 92 per cent saying their school either has not enough or no access to provision.
The findings, from a National Education Union (NEU) survey of over 18,000 union members, indicate that 66 per cent of teachers and 57 per cent of learning support assistants believe their school, college or nursery does not provide enough access to CAMHS for students.
A quarter of teachers and a third of support staff said that their place of education had no access to CAMHS support for students, the report finds.
Around half added that their setting had no access to a school nurse, trained mental health first aider, or senior mental health lead.
