· In relation to the two separate half-day closures during the 2017/18 school year to allow time, as a school community, to engage with the revised procedures and to access the support available the Department’s Teacher Education Section have advised as follows “that it is a matter for each individual school authority to use their discretion as to the timing of the closures within this academic year. Schools may also combine both half-days into one full-day school closure, to be taken during the current school-year.” This update is available on the Department’s website here Child Protection Procedures in Schools

· Maidir leis an dá dhúnadh leath-lae i rith 2017/18 a thabharfaidh an deis don scoilphobal dul i ngleic leis na nósanna imeachta. Is ceist do gach bord rogha a dhéanamh maidir le cén uair a dhúnfaidh an scoil. Tá cead ag scoileanna an dá leathlá a chur le chéile agus an scoil a dhúnadh ar feadh lae.
