A range of online farm safety resources for primary schools are available at www.hsa.ie/education under Teacher Supports and Resources and some are available as Gaeilge. The HSA’s e-learning portal also hosts a short course, entitled Keep Safe on the Farm, which can be found at http://hsalearning.ie. This is aimed at primary school children and comes with Teachers’ guidelines. It is linked to the SPHE curriculum.
Irish Water Safety has created an educational resource for primary schools called PAWS (Primary Aquatics Water Safety). PAWS outlines life-saving guidelines for children of every age and is available digitally to every school in the country through IWS at http://www.iws.ie/education/paws.2925.html. PAWS teaches children how to be safe around water
Developing Schools

This process will again take place for the 2018/19 school year, in accordance with the criteria set out in the document linked below, to provide for additional allocations to be made for schools which have rapidly expanding enrolments, pending the re-profiling of schools.
It is intended that all of the profiles for schools will be reviewed this year, in order to issue revised updated profiles for the schools in Spring 2019. It will then take effect from September 2019, based on updated profile data.
Schools will be contacted shortly regarding the first stage of the consultation process that will support this re-profiling exercise.
In the meantime, please note the criteria regarding developing school status for the 2018/19 school year.
