Why Schools Need Toast91
Across the UK, a critical issue is emerging as vulnerable children lack access to essential support for personal challenges in a convenient, digital format. This lack of online resources creates a silent struggle, leaving many students to face difficulties alone.
The impact isn't limited to just students. Traditional support systems within schools, like safe guarding specialists, are often stretched thin. This creates a ripple effect, placing additional strain on teachers and administrators who grapple with supporting students while juggling their core responsibilities. Here are some statistics that paint the picture.
