Ms Áine Lynch:

At primary level, we are relying on getting information to parents who can mediate that information to their children. As well as getting information out to young people, it is important that as students start to go back into school, we have mechanisms to listen to their experiences of that return. We should hear what is working for them and what is not, what keeps them feeling comfortable and what is raising their anxiety. We must have two-way communication and ensure that mechanisms are in place for young people, in primary and post-primary, so that we are hearing their voices about what is working for them.
