Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion
Mr. Paul Rolston:
It is based on the FUSE programme, which has come into play in our discussions. There is a report coming in December. I do not want to say too much about that now. We have been having discussions around that about the whole-school programme for a long time. One of the things we feel very strongly about within that is exactly what the Senator is referring to. That is reporting about it. The NPCPP and many of the other people involved believe that the inspectorate and the whole-school evaluation should look at that. They should form part of the report of the school - as to how the school looks after student wellness - and the report on the anti-bullying aspects within the school. These are absolutely real in every school across Ireland and if we don't acknowledge them-----
