UPDATE | Education Minister, Paul Givan, has condemned the actions of those responsible for issuing threatening emails to schools across Northern Ireland today. Find out more: education-ni.gov.uk/news/sta… @Ed_Authority @PoliceServiceNI
Illustrated graphic with added text "STATEMENT FROM EDUCATION MINISTER PAUL GIVAN on THREATENING EMAILS TO SCHOOLS "I want to absolutely condemn the actions of those who sought to disrupt our education system today by issuing threatening emails to our schools. The PSNI has confirmed that it is treating these emails as a hoax, with similar messages understood to have been received by some schools elsewhere in the UK. I want to reassure schools, parents and pupils that, following extensive checks, the PSNI has not identified anything untoward. “I recognise that this incident has caused significant concern and distress for pupils, parents, school leaders and staff. I also understand that a number of schools have had to make decisions which has unfortunately led to disruption and, in some cases, temporary closures. “The PSNI and the Education Authority have been working closely this morning to provide reassurance and advice. Schools do not need to report receipt of these emails to the PS

Junior Minister Aisling Reilly joined @CRJIcentral, @RevolveComics and young people at the Guildhall to launch the new ‘Who’s Pulling Your Strings?’ comic book. The comic book, developed through CRJI’s Tackling Exploitation initiative with support from TEO’s Communities in Transition Project, is designed to help kick-start conversations about grooming and exploitation. Junior Minister Reilly said: “This comic book takes a difficult and serious issue and presents it in a way that will really capture the attention of young people. It will get them talking, help them recognise when something isn’t right and most importantly, reminds them that support is available.”
