Returning to the classroom after Covid has been a 'challenge' for the Island's pupils.
In her evidence, Education Minister Julie Edge explained how a gap in provision for mental health services in schools has been filled by third sector organisations such as Isle Listen.

Manx Radio asked her what anecdotal evidence she'd seen of a mental health issues in the Island's classrooms:
