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"

Thanks to Linda Moore who wrote
I've just finished reading an amazing book I wanted to share with my friends, "The Corridor" by Iain Peters, the autobiography of a local Hartland climber and writer. www.iainpeters.com

The Corridor is a gripping story of how mountains, climbing & secret shame can shape a life.

 Wild places, vivid characters & turbulent relationships frame a narrative of extraordinary emotional survival in the face of childhood rape.

"In no way is ‘The Corridor’ a “tough read” ... it’s quite the opposite... The abuse Iain was subjected to as a child is described in succinct yet powerful writing. Climbing and mountaineering form the backdrop but the book is predominantly about relationships."

More strong reviews of 'The Corridor' "no ordinary climbing autobiography.... insightful and informative about the legacy of abuse.. searingly frank and moving book, and it deserves to be read by the widest possible audience." Midland Association of Mountaineers Nick Shearman www.iainpeters.com

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."

"Brilliantly well written!! It does create tumultuous emotions. A helter skelter of despair and anguish towards a vivid embrace of adventure and pure delight. ... I feel so positive about the book...it should be a bestseller!"

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

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?

Let’s make more time for play in the school day If we want to improve wellbeing among young people of all ages, we should ensure school gives them a chance to explore, create and have fun with one another, says Anne Longfield

Children are losing months of playtime during their school lives, argues former children's commissioner Anne Longfield. Here, she sets out how to fix that.

Obviously, children of all ages would benefit from more outdoor learning & free play. Apols for last-min request: what's your top recommended research evidence on value of play & fs in education?

Thank you for doing this hugely valuable work @sarahralph-lane.bsky.social & Amanda McBride. In my work I often see school staff being THE safety net for children who live in fear of violence at home, providing support way beyond their remit, with incredible determination, despite limited resources.

Totally agree. Thank you for continuing to speak out on this. Companies primarily motivated by profit should not be given responsibilty for highly vulnerable children. I know of young people who did not feel "cared for" in unregulated homes. Obscene profit making in children's care is immoral.

Thank you! Happy to be added to this
