A Safe and Respectful Working Environment in the Arts: Discussion
Ms Ciara Lynch:
Ms Daly mentioned education. there is a lot being done in third level education and so on. Up until last year I worked as a primary school teacher, and I know I am biased, but it should be in primary education that much of this is dealt with. There should be more psychology and sociology exploring these kind of issues. State-funded schools that have a religious ethos will straight-off be a difficulty with regard to proper relationship and sexuality education, RSE, gender discussions and all of that kind of stuff. That is the core issue and everything else is a reaction to what is happening.
