EPS Core offer 24/25
The Educational Psychology Service (EPS) is currently managing a high level of demand due to the increase in the number of Education Health Care Needs Assessment. We are working hard to ensure we undertake assessments as soon as possible. We are actively recruiting psychologists and assistant psychologists and are working with organisations who can supply further EPs to undertake some of these assessments.
The Local Authority recognises the importance of early intervention with schools and families being able to access support from specialists such as EPs as early as possible to prevent difficulties from escalating. Therefore, I am pleased to let you know that the EPS is able to continue to provide an early intervention offer to schools.
All schools and parents can access telephone consultation regarding individual children via our self-booking process.
Please carefully read the information below and on the next page about the EPS offers and make your selection.

The Survey will close on 15th September and we will contact you soon after to confirm your selection.
