Access to counsellors in secondary schools: summary report

An analysis of information provided by local authorities on the school counselling service in their area.

The 2018/19 Programme for Government included a commitment to invest in access to school counselling services across education. This commitment ensures that every secondary school has access to counselling services, while improving the ability of local primary and special schools to access counselling.

Access to counselling support through secondary schools is now in place across Scotland. Scottish Government continue to support our local authority partners with £16 million in funding to ensure that every secondary school has access to counselling services. 

This report provides analysis and combined information, provided by local authorities, on the school counselling service in their area. Some authorities provided information in different ways, based on how the services are run in their own localities. Where possible, information has been aggregated to show overall trends. 

Returns were submitted by local authorities in July 2021. This summary includes information from almost all local authorities.  The information set out below represents that provided, in some cases the totals and subtotals do not add up to the same figure.  We have sought to provide explanatory information where information is available.
