What we do:
We are a team of Educational Psychologists, Trainee Educational Psychologists and Psychology Assistants who apply psychological theories and approaches to promote positive outcomes for children, young people and their families.
We support children and young people with a range of different communication, learning, social-emotional, and physical needs. In addition to supporting at an individual level, we are also involved in group and systems-wide work.
Educational Psychology assessment is not a single approach, package or tool and our involvement can take many forms. For more information on Educational Psychology assessment, please see our guide.
Who we work with:
- individuals (0-25 years old) and groups of children, young people and their parents or carers
- educational establishments, including schools, colleges and children's centres
- other health, educational and clinical professionals including Local Authority officers
As Educational Psychologists we are bound by professional codes of conduct. We work under a protected title bound by certain principles and are required to be registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). You can see these principles below:
- British Psychological Society Code of Ethics and Conduct
- Health and Care Professions Council Standards of Proficiency
How we work:
In Milton Keynes, our Educational Psychologists work as part of a wider SEND team. The majority of our work can be separated into statutory work and our SEND support offer.
EP Assessment Backlog Recovery Plan - This statement outlines the current position in Milton Keynes with the backlog of EHC Needs Assessments and the recovery plan that is in place to clear the backlog and meet the statutory deadline for completion of the EHC needs Assessment in line with the SEND Code of Practice.
