Schools need more robust and vigilant governance.
Irish Times 14 March 2023.
Abstract
Shocking revelations about the abuse of children in schools generate waves of anxiety and concern throughout
society. They prompt particular questions for parents, educators and policymakers. "Is/was my child safe in that
school?" cuts to the heart of our desire to ensure children can grow and flourish in caring environments. Questions
for those in positions of management, leadership and teaching in schools include: "Do the policies and procedures
we have in place actually work to the good of the students?" and "Are such policies evaluated regularly,
systematically and with transparency?"
