Managing controversy is a self-reflection tool for school leaders and leadership teams that has been produced to fill the gap in formal training in how to handle controversial issues in school. The tool helps practitioners reflect on the way controversy is handled in their schools and offers practical suggestions for how it might be addressed more proactively and strategically. Its central message is that controversy is not to be feared but should be seen as a natural part of school life, and which, when managed well, has significant social and educational benefits.
