A critical incident is a situation that overwhelms the normal coping capacity of the school. The types of critical incidents experienced by schools range from the death of a member of the school community through illness, suicide or accidental death to physical assaults or serious damage to school property.
The school has in place a critical incident management plan that is activated in the event of a critical incident. The school is also supported by organisations such as the National Educational Psychological Services and Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board.
Some supports are accessible below. Please also visit our Parental Support Service page for additional information.
