The aim of the research will be to provide an insight into the profile of the schools engaging in Droichead and the PST members. To examine the elements of the NIPT training and support which has an impact on the teachers practice and best supports their role, to investigate the benefits and challenges encountered in their role as PST members and to highlight to what extent engaging in the Droichead process is changing the school culture.
