Last week’s Planning Prompts urged you to plan for a real break from work during the mid-term break. If you have not already done so, it is not too late.

As previously advised, we are currently working on re-developing our mailing lists including networking@ippn.ie. Due to unforeseen technical issues, we will be closing our mailing lists including networking@ippn.ie a day early and it will be closed during the mid-term break. The mailing lists will reopen again on Monday 6th November. If you have any urgent query that you need support and advice on please contact the IPPN Support Office on 021 4824070 / 1800 21 22 23 or email info@ippn.ie.

Leadership+ Issue 129 - Childhood Domestic Violence & Abuse
Schools play a critical role in supporting children who live with domestic and coercive abuse in the adult relationship. The abuse can have significant physical, emotional and psychological effects on children. […] Research suggests that approximately up to 1 in 5 children in our classrooms may have lived experience of domestic violence and abuse. Barnardos informs us that children repeatedly tell them that teachers and schools play an important role in buffering the impact of these experiences.
