Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

We are very focused on this issue. The roll-out will be completed by the middle of next year. We are starting it in three of the regions and it will be rolled out in the other three by the middle of next year. The training will be rolled out in conjunction with that. As part of our student probationer training programme, we have created a risk assessment tool that highlights where appropriate referrals need to be made. Training is being provided to student probationers and all the way up. We will also be including it in our continuous professional development programmes.
