Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book considers the progress made towards changing pupil attitudes to bullying in twenty-five secondary schools. Three questions are addressed: How can schools change attitudes so that there is a decline in all forms of bullying behavior? What difference does action against bullying make to pupil life and the quality of teaching and learning? Is action leading to a longer term improvement in the school society?
