My Department has funded the Professional Development Service for Teachers to revise the Walk Tall materials for primary schools. My Department is currently considering a continuing professional development framework to roll out support for the revised programme. Support will be rolled out in conjunction with support for the revised Stay Safe programme. My officials have made contact with the Professional Development Service for Teachers and it has not identified any issues in relation to the future of the programme.
