Kooth services (FOI)

Request 687327702​

Kooth promotes itself as "the market leader in online mental health support for 10-25-year-olds in the UK". 

With this in mind, I would like to request the following information:

1) Which primary and secondary schools are using or promoting Kooth services, materials or online platforms to students?

2) Which other government agencies or bodies are promoting Kooth to young people, directly or through the schools?

2) What is the total amount spent in each year since the pilot was initiated in 2020 by the Government of Jersey on Kooth, whether that be directly or indirectly through other government bodies?

Thank you.
