Bi Cinealta procedures for primary schools
A primary-school focused guide to Bi Cinealta planning, with practical prevention, intervention and parent communication prompts.
Primary school prevention
Primary prevention should use age-appropriate language around kindness, friendship, exclusion, telling a trusted adult and safe online behaviour.
Intervention and recording
Schools need clear steps for listening to children, recording concerns, communicating with families and checking whether behaviour has stopped.
Parent communication
Parent letters should avoid jargon and explain what the school is doing, what parents can do at home and how follow-up will happen.
