The requirement is for a peripatetic counselling service which includes the appointment of 2.5 counsellors to support primary aged children across North Ayrshire and includes a provision to offer supervision, training support and ongoing management of the service. This will complement the existing counselling service which is currently being restructured to support children and young people of 11 years and over but will be based predominantly in secondary schools.

North Ayrshire embraces the model of whole school approaches to support wellbeing. Counselling supports the emotional health of the pupil that underpins academic achievement and facilitates the building and management of helpful relationships in the school environment.
