Dealing with Bullying in Schools by Stephen Minton

Dealing with Bullying in Schools by Stephen Minton

Developed from training courses run by the two authors on the subject of dealing with bullying in schools, this book is designed to work as a training manual. It is geared towards the needs of the class teacher, the school management team, the bullied, the bullies and the parents of both parties.

`jargon-free and conciseThis is a very readable, thorough and practical book of use to young people, parents and in particular to school staff in preventing and dealing with bullying′ - Counselling Children and Young People (CCYP)

′…the authors drive home the strong message that bullying ′should never be accepted′ and how it can be life threatening. There is clear evidence that the training is based on current research. I found the format innovative, with the excellent add-on of being able to download PowerPoint training slides from the publisher′s website′ - Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties

`Dealing with Bullying in Schools is a very readable book and should be available in every school in the country.

What the book emphasises is that bullying is everyone′s problem not merely teachers. This includes the Head of the school, parents and everyone who is part of the community within the school′ - Dr L F Lowenstein, Educational, Clinical and Forensic Psychological Consultant
