THE DUBLIN RAPE Crisis Centre (DRCC) is urging students to read its Staying Safe Tips before celebrating today’s results.
The tips were first published in 2008 and since then the DRCC says there has been “a steady decrease in the numbers of victims accompanied by DRCC to the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit in the Rotunda Hospital in August – from the very high number of victims of 40 in 2008″.
Ellen O’Malley-Dunlop, Chief Executive of DRCC said: “We also know that the celebrations can leave some young people, as a result of drinking too much alcohol, vulnerable to the predators who will take advantage of them physically and sexually.
We urge parents, teachers, communities and the class of 2014 to take a few minutes to read the Staying Safe Tips devised in consultation with young people and many other interested parties to help and support to warn but not to blame.
“It is possible to have a great time and to let your hair down but not to let your guard down.”
