Educational Psychology Service

A guide for parents and carers

An introduction to this guide

Around one child in twelve is discussed with, or seen by an Educational Psychologist at some point in their school life as a result of concerns about their progress in school. This can only happen with the parents’ agreement. This guide describes what is involved.

The guide is organised around the questions that are most frequently asked:

What is an Educational Psychologist?
What sort of work does an Educational Psychologist do?
How does the Educational Psychologist become involved with my child?
What happens if the Educational Psychologist does see my child?
What happens when I meet the Educational Psychologist?
What happens next?
