Great to get the opportunity this morning to speak on Good Morning Ulster on the Extended Schools funding cuts to highlight the impact on children,schools, families & services on behalf of Barnardo's NI #ourchildrendeservebetter

Barnardo's NI provided counselling services to 4500 children last year. Cuts impacting school-based counselling services will "fail children." Children's emotional needs "will escalate when they cannot get support when and where they want it" Chelleh bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…

Julie Magowan has been a #school counsellor for 14 years: "Teachers remark that #children have improved academically. Their brains can now access learning because they're not in emotional distress." These cuts will impact Counselling services which have helped so many children.

Barnardo’s NI has supported pupils in over 100 mostly primary & special schools. Some schools have dedicated counsellors on site every week to help children with critical issues that affect their mental health. These cuts fail our children. More via: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…⬅️
