| dc.description | Ensuring that children enjoy a safe and secure learning environment in schools and education settings is a key concern for everyone that supports the development of children. The Department of Education and Skills acknowledges the strong culture of child protection that exists in our schools and that schools take their responsibilities in relation to child protection and welfare very seriously. It also recognises that child protection is a shared responsibility among parents, teachers, school leaders, those involved in the management of schools and school patrons, as well as those who work in the agencies and Departments that support schools and child protection arrangements.
The Department of Education and Skills has an important oversight role to play in ensuring that all our children receive the highest quality of care and protection in our schools. As part of the oversight and quality assurance role of the Department, the Inspectorate is required to implement Child Protection and Safeguarding Inspections (CPSIs). These inspections focus in an in-depth way on school compliance with key aspects of the Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools 2017.
This Guide sets out how we conduct Child Protection and Safeguarding Inspections in Irish primary and post-primary schools, centres for education and other learning settings and is effective from January 2019. The Guide was developed in the light of our experience in schools and in consultation with the education partners as required under Section 13(8) of the Education Act 1998. | en |
