The Unteachables

The campaign

A counsellor talking with a student

Liquid Light

Imagine being told by a teacher to concentrate and learn when your dad has just left home or your mum is seriously ill.

That's what we expect of about 20% of our children, says a recent study. More usually, children may have difficulties with homework and problems with friends.

This is why we need a counsellor in every school, and why we should take action to make this a priority.
