Written answers

The Inspectorate will continue to monitor the implementation of anti-bullying measures in schools in 2022. There are currently 103.4 whole-time equivalent primary and post-primary inspectors serving in the Inspectorate and almost all will be involved in the monitoring of the implementation of anti-bullying measures in schools as part of the range of evaluation and advisory work that they will be carrying out in recognised schools and centres for education. A number of these inspectors will also be involved in the analysis of the data arising from this work for reporting to the Department and Minister.
