Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Education (Amendment) Bill 2015 and Education (Parent and Student Charter) Bill 2016: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Paul Rolston:

We addressed it within our submission. Our view would be that there has to be adequate facility, whether that be a new ombudsman's office or somebody in a current role. We feel very strongly that the rights that this parents' charter should bring would make that available. We do not have a position as to whether it should be one or the other. The provision of adequate facility should be in place.
