Bí Cineálta (Anti-Bullying)
“The purpose of Bí Cineálta is to ensure that every child feels safe, included, and supported in their school environment. It aims to prevent bullying through education and inclusion, support students affected by bullying, and monitor and respond effectively to incidents. The framework is designed to foster a kinder school environment and is informed by the insights of children, parents, school staff and the wider education community.”

Students who have concerns about bullying in ECS can report it in several ways. They may use the anonymous QR code available on noticeboards (at school and digitally) and on Teams (digitally), place a note in the Bí Cineálta letterbox located near the PE Hall, or speak directly to any member of staff.
All reports of bullying are treated with sensitivity and discretion and are carefully investigated in accordance with our Bí Cineálta Policy, which can be accessed on this page - Bí Cineálta Policy (Ratified September 2025)
