Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

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

Dr. Seline Keating:

I think Professor O'Higgins Norman has said it for me in terms of having the curriculum in which there is inclusivity and those pupils can see themselves represented in the schoolbooks used in the classrooms and are celebrated and a culture of respect is promoted throughout the school ethos. That is key. Professor O'Higgins Norman highlighted the prevention mechanisms the school has in place. One key way to do that is through education and adopting a whole school community approach in which parents are involved in promoting respect and celebrating diversity. You have the home and school links, which are very important.
