Minutes:
The Committee agreed to close the petition in light of the scrutiny which has been given to these issues through the Children, Young People and Education Committee’s Mind over Matter inquiry, the increased priority given to mental health in the new curriculum, and the lack of a recent response from the petitioner. The Committee wished to thank the petitioners for their engagement and wish them well for the future.
