It is based on a sociometric diagnostic instrument which allows teachers identify vulnerable students who are being rejected\, excluded\, victimised in the peer group and who typically suffer in silence and do not report until the situation has escalated . The instrument generates a heatmap of hidden relationship dynamics in the class. The programme is effective in ensuring psychological safety\, inclusion\, and early identification and resolution of hidden bullying. \n  \n  \n  \nAfter the Workshops there will be two further addresses by the following speakers\nBernie McNally\, Secretary General of the Department of Education.\nBernie assumed the role of the Secretary General of the Department of Education in 2022.

She provides leadership in driving reform and innovation across the education sector. Her previous roles as Director General in the Office of the Ombudsman Ireland and as Assistant Secretary General in the Department of Children\, Equity\, Disability\, Integration and Youth\, means that Bernie has led a variety of policy\, service and governance in areas including early learning and childcare\, youth affairs\, information management\, research and evaluation\, and corporate affairs. \n  \nRob Halford\, CEIST Director of Education\nRob Halford\, Director of Education\, CEIST will address the Conference on the essential relationship between the CEIST Education Team\, school Leadership Teams\, Teachers\, Chairpersons and Boards of Management. \n
