The National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals have welcomed an anti-bullying and online safety training programme that will be offered to every post-primary school in Ireland. The programme, supported by Facebook and developed by the National Anti-bullying Centre (ABC) at Dublin City University, will begin in January next year. School principals told ABC they don't have enough time or resources to teach teachers how to handle the issue. Julie de Bailliencourt, Facebook Global Safety Policy Manager commented: “We are delighted to support the work of the National Anti-Bullying Centre through this partnership. "Through partnerships like this one, we know we can all better tackle the issue of bullying, whether offline or online."
