In the midst of what seems an endless press for better academic outcomes and a flood of centrally-driven reforms, Shapira-Lishchinsky eloquently reminds us of the importance and value of organisations having clear codes of ethical practice. This is the most comprehensive and insightful book on ethics in education organisations that I have read in the last 10 years - it is smoothly written, strongly argued and carefully referenced. The inclusion of a wide range of practical strategies really sets the book apart. I strongly recommend it to academics, policy makers and school communities alike.
