Reviews
I think this is an excellent text which will be highly valued by trainers and students alike. -- Margaret Robson * Review *
I think it is an excellent, pertinent and practical text. This should be a core text for all CYPF training courses across the UK and beyond. I will be buying it for staff and student reference and recommending it to students and to Universities locally. -- Edith Bell * Review *
