Anti-bullying support for schools in Ireland

ROI schools need anti-bullying work that connects classroom practice with Cinealtas, Bi Cinealta procedures, online safety and whole-school culture.

ROI policy context

Cinealtas and the Bi Cinealta procedures create a clear whole-education context for preventing and addressing bullying behaviour in primary and post-primary schools.

This hub links to explainers for Cinealtas, primary procedures, post-primary procedures and child protection overlap.

How schools can use this hub

School leaders can use the policy pages for compliance-aware planning and use the classroom pack for Anti-Bullying Week lessons, assemblies and parent communication.
