A critical book for everyone who just wants a good read, but an important book which could be used as a case study in training for police, social workers,health personnel and youth workers as well as an academic text for students of the social sciences.
Please share with your colleagues & friends.

The author creates tumultuous emotions a helter skelter of despair and anguish towards a vivid embrace of adventure and pure delight.
A most compelling book and will offer something to everyone,with reflections belonging only to themselves and this is the power and skill of Iain's narrative.

the "Corridor" unlocks the social taboos around acknowledging and facing up to child sexual abuse.
The author explores the issue of power and control and the vulnerabilities of the child exploited by persons in authority, who often have charismatic personality traits.

The author takes us to his early childhood in Kenya, across Dartmoor, Cornwall, the Alps & the remote unclimbed peaks of Cordillera Darwin, Tierra del Fuego. The exploration & narration of the sexual abuse he experienced at an English Boarding School takes the reader vividly along the "Corridor"

Really great to be getting such positive feedback - you don't have to be CSA survivor/ supporter nor a climber or mountaineer to find this book a powerful and compelling read.
All support and feedback welcome

" about the survival, recovery, & creation of a life after being sexually abused as a child. It is beautifully written, full of detail that paints a vivid picture of place, time, events, & relationships without a consuming focus on the brutality or any attempt to elicit emotion in the reader."

Yes! V much agree with you and disagree with Ofsted's claim that play is mindless. What do you think of Julian Grenier's view? www.tes.com/magazine/tea...
'Play ....needs to be considered and planned for as carefully as any other aspect of the provision.' Yes, as long as enables truly free play?
EYFS: the great play-based learning debate
The function of play in early years is always contentious, writes Julian Grenier, so it’s worth exploring the evidence carefully
