A report by the BBC says that a survey of school teachers suggests that more pupils have mental health issues than two years ago.
More than one in six said they believed at least a quarter of
students in their school or college were affected by mental health
problems.
Almost 90% said staff have had to provide more support
for these pupils over the past two years, while 43% said they had been
finding it harder to access services for pupils with mental illness.
One head of department at a Reading secondary school said local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services were "completely overwhelmed".
