Mr. John Irwin:

I will be brief because many points have been covered. Bullying occurs both in school and online. It is how the issues are addressed that is important. The great challenge in the online sphere is that very often the potential for the bully to feel remorse or guilt for their actions is blunted because they do not see the immediate impact on the victim. Therefore, it becomes much more challenging to deal with at times. Let us be honest, the online space is not one which my generation have grown up with. We do not necessarily understand all the nuances the children do.

I fully appreciate the Deputy's point on anti-racism policies . However, I would prefer it if we tried to switch it into perhaps a more positive context and look at inclusive policies.

We need inclusive policies. We need to build in inclusivity. Sometimes being anti can have a negative connotation.
