THE NSW Government will provide additional school counselling staff in public schools over the next three years.

"Through the NSW Government's sponsorship and scholarship programs, we will be training up to 328 people to join the school counselling workforce between 2020 and 2023," Ms Mitchell said.

ADOPTED PEOPLE NOW HAVE CHOICE

FOR the first time in NSW history adopted people will have the option to have both their birth and adopted families included on a birth certificate. Attorney General Mark Speakman said this is a significant milestone for adopted people in NSW, as yesterday the Parliament passed legislation enabling a person’s history before and after adoption to be recorded on an integrated birth certificate (IBC). Connections between birth and adopted families are encouraged under modern practices so that children are able to better understand their background and heritage. For information on adoption visit www.facs.nsw.gov.au/families/adoption.

Conducted by the University of Leicester and the University of South Australia, the study assessed the bedtime preferences (sleep chronotypes) of people with Type 2 diabetes, identifying a connection between bedtimes and healthy, active lifestyles.
