We’ve had feedback that parent and carers do not always have good notice of meetings with educational psychologists for Education, Health, and Care Needs Assessments (EHCNAs) and are not sure what to expect at these meetings.
Starting in February, parents and carers will receive an email inviting them to attend the meeting for all new appointments for EHCNAs.
The email will tell you what you can expect from the meeting and how you might like to prepare. It will also have contact details in case you have any questions.
Educational Psychologists undertake assessments for EHCNAs using a Joint Assessment Meeting (JAM). There’s lots of information on our website to explain what a JAM is. There is also a video explaining what an educational psychologist does. You might also like to share these resources with your child or young person.
