Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Education and the UNCRPD: Discussion (Resumed)
Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The Senator makes a valid point. I am thinking of our experience where we rolled out training around consent and taking a zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment. As a result of putting a real laser focus on that there has been a massive increase in staff going for training. I think the Senator is right. Under the new HEA Bill, which will hopefully become the HEA Act in autumn, it will be able to design codes and guidelines to ask institutions to report. I will feed her suggestion into that process. I think it is good.
