This text demystifies a difficult and delicate subject. It invites teachers to help themselves by acquiring a better knowledge of the issues involved, enabling them to achieve the confidence to handle a variety of sensitive issues, and foster inclusive attitudes both in and out of the classroom. Approximately one in 500 children have a serious facial disfigurement, which means that there is at least one such child in every school. Common causes are birthmarks, cleft lips and palates, scarring, burns or serious skin conditions. The author examines many of theses problems in a practical, uncomplicated style, covering: teasing, name-calling and bullying; career ideas and work experience; medical needs, special educational needs and related issues; creating inclusive school communities; self-perception and self-expression; and social skills for life. With illustrative case studies, and reference to useful resources, this book will be of particular relevance to teachers with responsibility for special educational needs, pastoral care, curriculum planning and school ethos, English, Drama, Citizenship or PSHE.
