Professor James O'Higgins Norman:

It is a huge task and it will need additional resources. The resources we have had to roll out the programme in its present form over the past two or three years have been considerable but we will need more resources to be able to do it across all schools. We can be smart about how we do this. We can arrange local committees. We can arrange it on a county-by-county basis with local co-ordinators. The thing to remember is what we are trying to do is bring about a change in the culture of schools and a change in how we understand bullying behaviour. It will take time and it will not be immediate. We need to plan for this and resource it appropriately.
