Very strongly agree

No, chaplains provide vital non-clinical support that students trust

This reflects Labor's policy rationale that pastoral care provides essential, non-clinical wellbeing support to students, which is why they expanded the program to include secular officers rather than abolishing it.

Disagree

Yes, replace them with qualified secular mental health professionals

Yes, public money should not be used to promote religion in schools
