Following the consultation below with parents, students, staff and school stakeholders, please find our Bí Cineálta Anti-Bullying Policy, which is in effect from the 2025/2026 school year, here.
Letter to School Community as part of our Bí Cineálta Policy Development Consultation:
Dear Parents, Staff, and Students,
At St. Mary’s Baldoyle, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all members of our school community. As part of the Bi Cineálta Implementation Plan, our Anti-Bullying Policy is currently undergoing a review, and your input is invaluable in ensuring that we have a strong and effective policy in place.
Enclosed, you will find a copy of our existing Anti-Bullying Policy for your review. As we work towards updating this policy, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on the following in the survey linked below.
Please note that we are asking you in the survey linked below to consider the key questions.
- Accessibility: If we had not sent this policy to you, where would you normally look for it?
- Effectiveness: Do you believe the current policy effectively prevents and addresses bullying?
- Improvements: Are there any additional measures, supports, or resources you feel should be included?
As part of our commitment to student wellbeing, we have recently introduced an anonymous reporting mechanism on Microsoft Teams to allow students to report concerns safely and discreetly. This will be incorporated into the revised policy, and we welcome any further suggestions on how to strengthen our approach to tackling bullying.
Additionally, we acknowledge that our current policy is quite detailed, and as part of the Bi Cineálta process, a Student-Friendly Version will be developed by students, for students to ensure accessibility and understanding.
We deeply appreciate your time and effort in supporting this review process. Your feedback will help us continue our mission of creating a school environment where every student feels safe, valued, and respected.
Thank you for your continued support in making St. Mary’s Baldoyle a place where kindness and respect thrive.
