Description
The Department of Education in Ireland published Cineáltas: Action Plan on Bullying 2023-2027 on 1 December 2022.
Cineáltas, meaning Kindness, is dedicated to preventing and addressing bullying behaviour including, cyber bullying, racist bullying, gender identity bullying and sexual harassment, among other areas, in schools.
This presentation outlines how the Department of Education developed and is implementing Cineáltas.
The presentation will outline how UNESCO’s Whole Education Approach to preventing and addressing bullying and cyberbullying was used to develop Cineáltas: Action Plan on Bullying.
Cineáltas was informed by an extensive consultation process involving significant engagement with members of the education community, including children and young people, parents, school staff, education partners and members of the public.
The presentation will also discuss how the sixty-one actions contained in Cineáltas are being implemented and how implementation forms part of the Department of Education’s broader work to support wellbeing promotion in schools.
