  * Aspects of Pastoral Care develops six specific pastoral approaches: welfare and liaison, health and medical services, life crises and counselling, managing behaviour, bullying, and starting secondary school
  * Viewpoints has three personal statements: television viewing, core values for teachers and parents, and the professionalism of teachers
  * In An Agenda for Discussion the editors comment on the various chapters of the book and add extra material on pastoral care and personal and social education
