The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it achieved its commitment in the 2019-20 Programme for Government to have 350 school counsellors in post by September 2020 and, if not, how many are currently in post.
The answer
We have engaged with education authorities throughout the COVID-19 period and there has been significant progress in the delivery of the counselling through schools commitment. It is expected that all schools will have access to counselling services by the end of October 2020.
