Product reviews for Beyond Wiping Noses

Stephen Lane has rightly identified the paucity in research on the pastoral side of working with children in today's schools. In Beyond Wiping Noses he shepherds us through a wide-ranging tour of his thoughts on matters pastoral, challenging the long-held sense that it is best undertaken only by those with the instinct and feel for how best to support the welfare, wellbeing and emotional development of children. Colleagues in schools, and those entering the profession, will find this book a thought-provoking and stimulating read.
