I thank the Minister for his answer. No child or young person should ever have to endure the insidious distress and hurt that is caused by bullies. The Addressing Bullying in Schools Act introduced detailed reporting requirements for schools. What analysis has the Department undertaken to ensure that the collection of data on bullying is translating into measurable improvements in pupil safety and well-being, especially in the new context of potential 24/7 exposure to cyberbullies?
