We have a key statutory duty to provide psychological advice as part of an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP). Where there is a concern about the provision for a child or young person with an EHCP, we work closely with all those involved.

To meet these statutory duties we arrange regular visits to schools. There is no charge for covering our statutory responsibilities.

All our educational psychologists are registered psychologists with HCPC and bring a range of experience with children and young people and a postgraduate-level degree.

• staff development and training
• therapeutic interventions such as Nurture Groups and CBT-based approaches
• contributions to pastoral support plans

This concerns the health, safety and wellbeing of children and young people when engaged in off-site visits and activities. This includes the full spectrum of visits from those which are near the school to more distant expeditions.

The service is linked with the Secondary Physical Education Service. A discount is available for schools purchasing both services.
