Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

As the SPHE is mandatory, will the Minister also consider making the Stay Safe programme mandatory? The Joint Committee on Education and Science had hearings on the issue. All the education partners, including patron and parent bodies, are in favour of ensuring all children are protected. Does the Minister not have a responsibility to ensure all children are fully protected? The Stay Safe programme is the best way to achieve this.
