Ms Saoirse Brady:

Mr. Holmes covered many of the points the Senator put to me. The other thing is that some type of programme should be put in place for teacher training. The Department should provide resources and continuing professional development, CPD, opportunities for people to continue to train in how to address bullying. Updating the national action plan on bullying would be key to this. Having routine refresher courses on that would also help. My nephew is a roots of empathy baby so it is a fabulous programme.
