Ms Caron McCaffrey:

I can outline the details and the actions I have taken specifically to deal with issues of sexual assault among our staff. We engaged with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre. We asked staff to come forward and talk confidentially to the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre to share their experiences so that as an organisation we could learn and put better supports in place. That culminated in a training package for all senior managers. Subsequently, that training package has been rolled out to staff support officers, to chief officers within our prisons and to our HR and governance so that we are in a position whereby if a person is subject to a sexual assault in the workplace, the impact of that is understood, on a man or a woman, and that the person is given the appropriate supports. I am very committed to that.
