'It will engage young people in important issues, it will reflect the reality of many children's lives. It has useful links to the curriculum - most obviously PSHCE, and the citizenship element in particular.'
Tony Eaude, ex head teacher and now independent educational consultant of New Perspectives www.edperspectives.org.uk
