The role of the SPHE Support Service is to support schools in the implementation
of SPHE. In addition we provide the following service in relation to child protection:
- I day training courses for all newly appointed Designated and Deputy Designated
Liaison Persons. If the DLP and DDLP have previously received training, the school
may wish to nominate another person to attend.
- Information evenings on the new Child Protection Procedures for member of Boards
of Management. These evenings are co-delivered with the JMB / IVEA and ACCS.
The above events are organised by Drumcondra Education Centre. Schools are notified
by letter twice a year. If you have any enquiries please ring Bernie Howard in Drumcondra
Education Centre at 01 857 6431 or email her at
bernieh@ecdrumcondra.ie
The SPHE Support Service provides a half day seminar for whole staffs called Promoting
the Welfare and Protection of Students. The seminar raises awareness of a range
of issues relating to the well being of students, including child protection. For
further information please contact your local Regional Manager.
The SPHE Support Service does not provide whole staff information sessions on the
Child Protection Procedures.
Below you will find two presentations that can be used with staff, in addition to
other documentation relating to the new Procedures.
