Reviews / Votes
Jarlath O'Brien has written a must read book for all leaders who are serious about making lasting change. Each chapter details systems and procedures, which reflect the legal duties of schools, their governing bodies and trustees, whilst making sure the rights of children, young people and their families are paramount. -- Kate AllelyMore details
