Enhance a school’s capacity to fulfil the oversight management arrangements of their anti-bullying policy
This anti-bullying policy reflective framework was developed by Dr. Seline Keating. It is in line with current research, her own teaching experience and feedback from a pilot study. Nuts+Bolts aims to assist schools in the yearly evaluation of their anti-bullying policy, as outlined in Circular 0045/2013 and Anti-Bullying Policy Procedures for Primary and Post-Primary Schools (2013). This framework may also enhance a primary school’s capacity to meet the School Self-Evaluation (SSE) requirements, and most recently Circular 0032/2021 which outlines the Inspectorate’s 2022 focus on a school’s compliance with the recommended anti-bullying measures.
