Assessments should have been made in primary schools, but they were not. Therefore when one is on a secondary school board of management, one becomes part of the judge and jury. What policies have been put in place for boards of management? Not all bullying takes place in school. It is outside school and in the home also but there are no policies in place for boards of management. I am not getting an answer and I am a little frustrated.
