      ‘Pooky Knightsmith’s excellent book illuminates the territory school staff have long feared to tread. From spotting the signs of self-harm and eating disorders to supporting sufferers, from referring them to (and working with) appropriate agencies to reintegrating them into school: all that desperately needed practical common sense and potentially life-saving advice is here. An essential handbook for schools and education professionals.’

      – Bernard Trafford, Headmaster, Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne

      ‘This book is a wonderful resource for schools and colleges and will help committed staff to produce an environment in which eating disorders are either prevented or are detected as early as possible. This means that the individual, her/his peers and the family are supported in a timely and effective manner which can prevent the illness taking a hold. The book is authoritative and multifaceted with lived experience, academic expertise and in-depth experience of collaborative work with teachers, tutors and key school staff. An essential handbook for all schools to improve mental health by creating a sound curriculum and a healthy environment.’

      – Prof Janet Treasure, OBE PhD FRCP FRCPsych,

      Professor of Psychiatry, King’s College London

      ‘Drawing on the voices of young people, this is a truly excellent book for teachers and anyone working in schools. It offers clear, practical advice that can easily and safely be used. It will give you the confidence to support a young person facing these issues without being an expert. I highly recommend it.’

      – Clare Stafford, Chief Executive, Charlie Waller Memorial Trust

      ‘Eating disorders are serious illnesses that are of great public health concern, given their high prevalence and adverse health consequences. Schools are excellent settings for prevention, early identification, referral for treatment and support during and following treatment. In this book, Pooky Knightsmith provides a wealth of information for school staff concerned about eating disorders and other forms of self-harm. This comprehensive book will be an important reference to have and to use within school settings. It is crucial to utilize schools in order to decrease the public health burden of eating disorders.’

      – Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, PhD, Professor at the School of

      Public Health, University of Minnesota and author of I’m, Like,

      So Fat! Helping Your Teen Make Healthy Choices about

      Eating and Exercise in a Weight-Obsessed World

      ‘When children scream for help too many adults mistake the signs of mental illness as a “behaviour issue”. This book is invaluable for support professionals. It unpeels complex issues with clear, practical advice allowing you to manage vulnerable children with care and confidence.’

      – Paul Dix, Lead Trainer, Pivotal Education

      ‘This is an incredibly important book, especially given the worrying rise in the number of these disorders over recent years. Pooky Knightsmith gives her readers an insight into all aspects of self-harm and eating disorders, from understanding what these disorders are, right through to supporting students and their families in overcoming them. This is a thoroughly practical and useful book that will support, advise and enlighten you and your staff. The book is given even deeper impact through the use of case studies and the real voices of young people. It is a must read for all those who work in education.’

      – Sue Cowley, author, presenter and teacher trainer

      ‘This book is a superb blend of subtle, intelligent and deeply sensible advice on eating disorders and self-harm. The combination of simple strategies and practical tips, grounded in best evidence and a wealth of up-to-date information, make it essential reading for anyone with pastoral responsibility in schools.’

      – Jessica Streeting, School Nurse, Practice Teacher, Queen’s Nurse

      ‘This is a quite excellent book in that it fills a gap: giving school staff both an insight into, and an effective help “manual” for responding to eating disorders and self-destructive behaviour in young people. Like the best books it also leaves one hungry for more.’

      – Dr Alan Cooklin, FRCPsych, Consultant in Family

      Psychiatry, Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust and

      Honorary Senior Lecturer, University College London

      ‘Self-Harm and Eating Disorders in Schools is a comprehensive and practical guide. Pooky’s clear step-by-step advice for recognising warning signs and supporting students at risk is an invaluable resource for providing teachers with the tools for empathetic and confident action. This book is a must for all upper primary and secondary teachers.’
