Educational Psychologists (EPs) work across a range of settings, (for example, Early Years settings, schools, specialist additional learning provision and post 16 settings), to help achieve their best possible outcomes for children and young people.
EPs work in partnership with children and young people, their families, schools, settings and other agencies about a wide range of needs with regards to their:
- Learning
