All of our 722 post-primary schools provide CSPE. That includes our 232 DEIS schools. Oversight of that is by our inspectorate, which visits schools, whether on an unannounced basis, an incidental inspection or for a planned and longer term inspection. As part of the longer term inspection - the whole-school evaluation, as it is called - CSPE is inspected, verified and overseen by the inspector for the duration of the time that they are evaluating what is happening in the school. It is an important subject which speaks to civic engagement, political and social engagement and supporting young peoples to become leaders in the community.
