Ms Clare Griffin:

The resources and supports are there if the schools decide that is an issue that needs to be addressed with their cohort of pupils. There is school autonomy and a requirement for schools to respond to the needs of their children as manifested in the school context itself. Those supports are there. Alongside that, there is a good level of CPD provided which will inform schools about the different resources and guide them as they determine what specific issues need to be addressed with their pupils.
