Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Consent Programmes in Irish Education: Discussion
Eileen Flynn (Independent) | Oireachtas source
It is really about valuing the active consent programme and the other programmes. We see the Rape Crisis Centre going into schools doing work. Some of those programmes are only working from year to year. Overall, the question is how do we invest. This is something the committee will keep pushing.
From being a member of this committee for the last two years, I see that we expect an awful lot from our educators. We expect them to be counsellors as well. How to train up some teachers in each school to enable them to deliver to all the students?
