This is not the first time this kind of issue has been raised with me over a number of years. I would be very surprised if it has not been raised with other Deputies. What control does the Department have at individual school level? Can we ask it specifically about this critical issue? What inspections and controls are in place? Is there a complaints mechanism? What controls are put in place to ensure there is no abuse?
