Please, just leave me alone

Article Abstract:

Research undertaken into 'loner' children by former child psychiatrist Sula Wolff indicates that a child who is a loner is not necessarily lonely or shy. Loner children have a strong sense of being different from others, and find it very hard to relate to others, even members of their own family. They lack social skills, and prefer to be alone, unlike shy children, who really want to make friends. The loner syndrome is now thought to affect as many as 2% of the population.

A safe place for sad children

Article Abstract:

The Place to Be is a network of various types of therapists who work in seven London primary schools with children who are suffering a range of difficulties. It now has more than 100 trained and training therapists, many of whom deal with children in very informal situations. The volunteers have to commit themselves to seeing their child every week for at least a year, thus ensuring that the disturbed child enjoys a more stable relationship with an adult carer.

Learning new legal lessons

Article Abstract:

The Education Law Association has 280 members, 70% of whom are solicitors in 1993. Several law firms have established education law departments as legislation increased. Legal firms can advise schools on educational charitable trusts, administration, rights and responsibilities. Schools should have proper complaints procedures.
