An EP is trained in psychology and child development. They work in partnership with parent carers, schools and other education settings to understand children and young people’s needs, so they can plan ways to support them.
It takes at least eight years to train as an EP. The training includes an initial psychology degree, work with children and completing a doctorate in educational psychology.
All our educational psychologists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and are Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked.
