Reviews

Times Educational Supplement Book of the Week, May 2002 'Reid's pithy reviews of each solution are firmly grounded in current legislative and professional practice and should provide school leaders with a useful checklist. This thoughtful and thorough book closes with a very short chapter which makes practical national policy recommendations for action. I hope the DfES takes his advice.' - Hilary Belden, Times Educational Supplement 'The author states that the book is aimed at schools and policy-makers. I would suggest that it would also provide valuable insights for those from other agencies, such as Connexions, Youth Offending Teams, police etc., who are increasingly becoming involved in trying to work with schools to solve the problems of truancy. Some parents might well find its non-judgemental approach and attempt to provide real solutions, useful too.' - Educational Review
