Issue - meetings

Bilal Qureshi, Bury’s Member of Youth Parliament reported that he had been asked to help with the UKYPs campaign relating to mental health.

Bilal explained that he had been asked to complete a form setting out what services Bury schools offer to support young people in relation to mental health.

Bilal asked those present to come up with some questions that could be included in a questionnaire and then sent to all Bury high schools pastoral teams.

Those present were asked to give feedback and the following questions were suggested:-

·         What support is available in your school?

·         Is there a trained counsellor in your school?

·         If yes, how many hours of support do they provide per week?

·         How to pupils access the services available?

·         How do you make people aware of what help and support is available/

It was agreed:

That Kate would produce the questionnaire based on the questions set out and forward to the schools.
