I would like to inform the Deputy that the National Behaviour Support Service (NBSS) is currently working with 91 schools. The number of schools who have availed of the NBSS since its establishment is as follows: 2006/2007 - 212007/2008 - 502008/2009 - 642009/2010 - 742010/2011 - 822011/2012 - 91. The NBSS was established in September 2006. National information sessions for schools were held in November and December 2006. Work with the first 21 schools started in February 2007 and 29 more schools were added in September 2007. Since then there has been a steady increase in the number of schools availing of its Services.
