Bí Cineálta

The Bí Cineálta procedures are to prevent and address bullying behaviour for primary and post-primary schools, which will guide our school communities to work together to prevent and address bullying behaviour in our schools.

These procedures are called “Bí Cineálta” which means “Be Kind”. Showing kindness and being kind to each other underpins these procedures and supports school environments that foster empathy and understanding. The focus in these procedures on restoring relationships after bullying behaviour has been displayed will help to rebuild trust, encourage accountability and a supportive school culture.
