I thank the guests for coming before the committee this afternoon and for the submissions given to us. I will start by asking Dr. Foody a question. I am conscious that everything we do must be guided by research and I was interested in and pleased to hear about the research Dr. Foody has conducted. Can she outline for the committee what she believes are the trigger points or catalysts that, at present, give rise to a child in school becoming a bully? Is it the pressures he or she is under at home? Is it based on differences? What is her assessment of this? I know it is a broad question but I would appreciate an attempted answer.
