The reason I asked that question was because Dr. Geoffrey Shannon came before the Oireachtas children's committee recently. The discussion was on cyber safety but it was also to do with children not understanding the roles and responsibilities around consent. I did not find the presentation very clear on that. I saw it for third level students. I would not expect to see it for primary level students but for post-primary I would need to have seen a clearer understanding around the issue of consent. I am labouring the point on consent because for schools that have a particular ethos or boards of management that are governing it or whoever signs off on the policy, the education around consent is very important. I want to know if that is delivered in junior or senior cycle or at what stage is it delivered.
