Critics Review
‘This work synthesises a vast range of evidence from research and theory. In addressing trauma, it focuses on a pertinent issue. The book strikes a balance between theory and practice. As well as unpacking the issues, solutions are offered to address the challenges. The ‘In-Conversation’ chapters are innovative, engaging and provide illuminating insights into contemporary issues. This book is an outstanding addition to the field of trauma within educational contexts. It will be read widely by students, academics and practitioners and will be highly cited.’ * Jonathan Glazzard, Hull University, UK *

This book would be invaluable in the staff Library of any school, and as a textbook for teacher education in universities. Written in an informed yet easily accessible style, this book is an important read for all educators.’ * Judith Howard, Queensland University of Technology, Australia *
