Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
School Bullying and the Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Aisling Dolan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
When we were meeting the departmental officials some of my questions were on the inspector reports the Department does for schools. It does them annually, but there probably has been a delay due to the lockdown and everything else. There should be a section there about how schools tackle bullying. Does Hugh think that this would be important for parents, if they were reviewing that, when they are deciding what school to choose for their children, or that children would be looking at this as well? At a young age it is very difficult, but he had a conversation about the school environment even when he was deciding which school he was going to attend.
