Welcome to Anti-Bullying Ireland

THIS IS A FREE SERVICE

My name is Justin Morahan and my immediate goal is to stop bullying in Irish schools.

This site offers three items:

A method to discover and prevent bullying that has been tested in an Irish school. This is the Box and Interview Method.
Advice for parents, students, teachers and management on how to deal with bullying in the Irish context.
Active help for all of the above groups or individuals in trying to stop bullying.

1 THE BOX AND INTERVIEW METHOD

I am author and first coordinator of the Box and Interview method that worked successfully in an Irish post-primary school over a period of four years.

I recommend this method to Managers and school staff who are looking for a way to discover and stop bullying of children under their protection.

See:

Box and Interview method including Summary and Anti-Bullying Code

Since you began talking about the Box and Interview method this morning, five serious cases of bullying have been reported to me. Don't talk about it any more. I would be inundated with complaints and the school does'nt have the resources to deal with it

STUDENT VICTIMS

The Box and Interview method when conscientiously used by a school provides the best method of discovering bullying, monitoring what happens to victims stopping the bullying and preventing its reoccurence

TEACHER and STAFF VICTIMS

Where there is bullying of teachers or staff in a school, the Box and Interview Method can help to remedy it just as it does with regard to the bullying of students

MANAGERS, BOARDS of MANAGEMENT, PRINCIPALS and TEACHERS

The Box and Interview Method is aimed at school managers/Boards of Management, principals and teachers whose interest and enthusiasm are necessary to implement it. WITHOUT THE FULL AND GENUINE SUPPORT OF ALL OF THESE NO SYSTEM CAN STOP BULLYING. On all of these bodies there is a big responsibility to keep the school working place safe and healthy.

I welcome contacts from all of these.

I am willing to give demos of the method as well as general talks on bullying, free of charge, in all schools.

2. ADVICE

Untold numbers of victims are suffering because of unresolved, ongoing bullying in Irish schools

In Ireland there is still no legislation on bullying in schools but there are Guidelines to Prevent Bullying, issued by the Department of Education and Science.

Based on these, and on experience, there is a section here called:

Steps for a victim to take
