Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Kehoe: I have a few quick questions before I go to Deputy Conway-Walsh to wrap up the meeting. My first question is for Mr. Rawson. Coláiste Bhríde is a co-educational school. One often hears that girls talk more openly than boys, although that can depend on the individual's personality to some degree. Would Mr. Rawson agree with that? If so, what could be done to assist males in a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Kehoe: Unfortunately, some students, male and female, do not have the family supports to go home to discuss that and have the confidence to do it.

Is there a process in the school to go through if you see somebody in trouble?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Paul Kehoe: It is a challenge for the witnesses as students, in that type of situation, to know who to go to. What is the process? It is a challenge for every school. Hugh spoke about a well-being charter. I am not sure if the witnesses' schools have well-being charters. It is a proposal or recommendation made by Hugh.

Paul Kehoe: I thank all the witnesses for appearing before the committee. I thank Ryan, Tami, Hugh, Darragh, Molly and Annie. Darragh can go back to talking about farming on the way home.

Ms Tami O' Leary did...
