Covid Reminders

Dear Parents / Guardians,
The HSE have been in touch with all Secondary Schools to ask us to remind parents and guardians of the following important Covid Protocols and Guidelines. Please take some time to read the below.
We are asking you to please remember
All public health guidelines still need to be followed including:
ü Wearing face coverings
ü Cleaning hands regularly
ü Maintaining physical distance from others
ü Being mindful of the ventilation of classrooms by opening windows and doors as appropriate
Encourage all those who are eligible for vaccination within your school community to access appropriate information around this (available at www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/) For those wishing to arrange vaccination, they can do so at either:
a. Register using the HSE Vaccine portal (vaccine.hse.ie/#register)
b. OR phone the HSE at 1800 700 700
What is the advice for close contacts who are fully-vaccinated against COVID-19?
Close contacts who are fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 are required to restrict their movements until they receive a call from the HSE Contact Management Programme. During this call a review of each close contact’s vaccination (dates and type) and medical history will determine whether the vaccine is likely to provide “significant immunity” for them. The close contact will then be advised whether they can return to school or whether they need to continue to restrict movements.
When is a person considered to be fully-vaccinated?
a. 7 days after receipt of the second Pfizer-BioNTech dose (two dose vaccination course)
b. 15 days after receipt of the second AstraZeneca dose (two dose vaccination course)
What is the advice for close contacts who are not fully-vaccinated against COVID-19?
Close contacts who are not fully-vaccinated will need to go for two PCR tests for COVID-19, one as soon as possible and one on Day 10 after their last exposure to the COVID-19 case.
They will need to restrict their movements (stay at home) until the Day 10 test has been done. This includes not attending work or school.
If the Day 10 test result is “not detected” or negative, the pupil or staff member can return to school provided they do not have symptoms of COVID-19.
What about the families of those who are close contacts?
Other people who live at home with the close contact do not need to restrict their movements, provided the close contact has no Covid symptoms. This means they can continue to attend school. If the close contact tests positive for COVID-19, the household will then need to restrict their movements.
What if a close contact declines the COVID-19 test?
Testing is not mandatory. But if a close contact does not have a Day 10 test done, this means they need to continue to restrict their movements for 14 days after their last contact with the person with COVID-19.
More information
Up to date information and advice on COVID-19 is available on hse.ie.
We thank you for your help and support as we continue to live with COVID-19.

Dear Parent or Guardian
Please find below a programme of talks available to all parents who have experienced self harm in their familiy. UCD in conjunction with Pieta House are providing the talks and in return are requesting participation in a survey. I hope these will be of benefit to any household who have this experience.
Kind regards
Bernadette Prendiville:
Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s),
We are a research team from University College Dublin and Pieta working on a project funded by the Irish National Office of Suicide Prevention. Research has shown an increase in mental health difficulties over the course of the pandemic such as self-harm. As part of this project, we are hosting a series of free webinars for anyone interested in learning more about self-harm in adolescents including parents or guardians. Eventbrite page to book a place: www.eventbrite.com/e/talks-for-parents-understanding-self-harm-in-adolescents-tickets-188405053587
Monday November 1st 7pm: ‘Understanding Self-Harm in Adolescents’, a talk from Sinead Raftery and Leigh Kenny (Pieta Therapists)
Monday November 8th 7pm: ‘What is self-harm, why is my child doing it, and what can I do about it?, a talk from Madeline Connolly (Senior Psychiatric Social Worker and Systemic Family Psychotherapist- Lucena Clinic, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and Katie Murphy (Social Worker and Systemic Practitioner, Lucena Clinic)
Tuesday November 16th 7pm: ‘Understanding Self-Harm Through the Medium of Metaphor’, a talk from Dr Colman Noctor (Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, Author, Broadcaster and Podcaster)
This project is also developing resources for the parents and guardians of young people (ages 10-19) who have engaged in self-harm. Parents and guardians who attend and who have experience supporting an adolescent will also be invited to take part in a survey. The findings of this survey will help organisations to provide useful information for parents in a way that is easy for parents to access.
If you are interested in taking part in this survey please follow this link or use the QR code below: (ucdpsychology.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3PgtwSsy7se0HCm).
Thank you,
Professor Eilis Hennessy
