Synopsis

This very practical book provides teachers and other practitioners with the means to establish and sustain peer support programmes in learning environments. Peer support is increasingly being adopted by schools as a means of proactively preventing and tackling problems. The book's main focus is on the sustainability of peer support programmes, since many schools initiate such schemes but find it hard to sustain them over time with each new generation of students.
