Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Ann Piggott:

I agree that there should be links between home and school and then at least we would see from every angle how troubled a student may or may not be. I also think we should have links with corporate companies involved with online media platforms. At least then they could be told to take down material. The Deputy also mentioned adult bullying in schools, which is very serious. That needs further investigation following on from when the committee has finished looking at the bullying of children and how they feel and cope.
