You will ensure that high quality statutory psychological advice is delivered in a timely way. You will have an important voice in shaping the SEND and Inclusion agenda across the borough.

    Through the delivery of evidence-based practice, support and training to educational settings, the Educational Psychology Service will continue to promote wellbeing and equitable access to learning for all children and young people. With a focus on understanding the systems in which vulnerable children live and learn, the EP service will support children and young people in our educational settings to reach their learning potential, feel positive about themselves as learners, and prepared for the next phase of life.
