Summary:	"Th̀is book poses questions for all professionals in the Children's Workforce and Extended Provision, including those supporting special and behavioural needs such as teachers and mentors. Moving personal accounts by vulnerable children, young people and families allow unique insights into the challenges they face.

The narrative approach of the authors takes us through how life is experienced and developed in a multicultural global world and how to accommodate these different cultures and religions within the education system and society.'--Dr Ram V Seth, Consultant Psychiatrist, Director of Medical Education and Barrister at Law, UK" "This intelligent collection of case studies tells the stories of individuals coping with diversity in our schools today.
