Reviews
'Márianna Csóti has done it again - this time putting a timely spotlight on all aspects of bullying. This book should be required reading for parents, teachers, and victims of bullying.'

'Bullying is the commonest worry on calls to the National Autistic Society (NAS) Autism Helpline. The NAS therefore welcomes this very reasonably priced book which offers sensible and helpful advice on tackling bullying at its root causes and supporting the victims of
bullying.'

'One of the best all round books on bullying I've read. Clear cut and easy reading. Covering all aspects, it actually gives strategies to prevent and deal with being bullied.
'Chapter three deals with "whole school" approach in depth. Showing what a united front must be to protect children in your care. Good practice mentioned in this chapter includes older children being trained for peer support. The idea of wearing a badge to identify themselves is something which I will try out in our school. This should encourage victims to come forward and off load to a sympathetic older child.
'Working with ASD children myself, I was particularly interested in this section and the ideas it has to offer.
'Anyone in contact with children, from parents to lunchtime staff, would find this book more than useful. It should be kept in a central position in school and referred to when the need arises.
'Altogether an excellent resource to have offering great value for money.'
Judith Colley SEN Teaching Assistant.
