What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Highland Council currently provides a school counselling service for children and young people (CYP) over the age of 10 years. The service offers these pupils access to one-to-one, face-to-face sessions within the school environment, with the facility for online sessions when required. Sessions are provided by a fully trained counsellor who is registered with an appropriate governing body and fulfils the competencies for working with children and young people. The service offers 50-minute sessions within a confidential space with a requirement for pre and post counselling assessment based on the Child or young person's perspective.
