Teachers urged to act if colleagues are bullied

TEACHERS were urged to support colleagues being bullied in schools.

Delegates at the Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) congress also passed a motion calling on their executive to ensure all union officials, branch officers and school representatives are trained in proper procedures to deal with bullying.

TUI executive member Gerard Craughwell said all teachers had a role to play when a bully entered their workplace, adding that taking action may save the life of another teacher.
