Noting the atomisation of services currently being offered to schools, this book provides a persuasive case for the adoption of Pastoral Care as an overarching framework to meet the social and psychological needs of individual children, especially through the building and maintaining of caring relationships between school personnel and students. * Ken Rigby, Adjunct Research Professor, School of Education, University of South Australia, Australia * This is essential reading not only for Pastoral Leaders but also for any teacher ... I found the book enjoyable and easy to read. It is certainly not without time that such a clear, comprehensive and critical book in the pastoral area was published ... [ A] must-have for any secondary school. -- Stephen McCord * UTU News the Journal of the Ulster Teachers Union * All chapters include research examples, case studies, further reading and useful web-sites, all of which will be of use to both students and teachers pursuing continuing professional development, whether through courses or in-house projects. The standard of writing, the quality of theory and the research base is consistently high throughout all the chapters, and this is a testimony to both the expertise and skills of the chapter authors and the coordinating and editing skills of Noel Purdy. -- Ron Best, University of Roehampton, UK * Pastoral Care in Education: An International Journal of Personal, Social and Emotional Development *
