Professor James O'Higgins Norman:

I see my colleague Dr. Keating wants to come in there as well. Research has been done. As Dr. Foody said, it is quite complicated in that being a member of an ethnic minority or having a special educational need does not mean you are more likely to be bullied, but the context around you can influence that. The more we can create schools which appreciate everyone is different and diversity is part of life and reflect that in our policies, curricula and syllabus, the better. It is important kids see themselves in textbooks, images and stories around the school. All of that makes a difference in terms of how included people feel. It is important we push that agenda. I will refer to my colleague, Dr. Keating.
