Educational Psychology Team support 2020 - 21

Educational Psychology Team (EPT) Service Delivery 2020-21

A letter will be coming into school this week, along with the updated EP Team brochure for 2020 - 21, outlining service available to purchase from the EPT.

As in previous years, Education Health and Care Assessment work carried out on behalf of the Local Authority will be funded centrally and the EPT will provide targeted annual reviews for CYP with Education Health and Care Plans who are transitioning between phase and those who are particularly vulnerable.

The EPT will continue to offer a number of hub consultation sessions in 2020 - 21, to enable schools to access support and advice from an EP in a timely and efficient way. Educational Psychology hub sessions are available across the year at a number of locality and central locations. Sessions are free to Bradford maintained schools and can be purchased by other organisations. Hub sessions can be booked via Skills4Bradford.

Settings also have the option of purchasing Educational Psychology Team support in blocks of time to meet their own specific needs and priorities. The EPT offers a range of work aimed at promoting inclusion, psychological wellbeing and raising standards across the full range of age and abilities.

Bradford Educational Psychology Team will work with you to identify and support children and young people with special educational needs, disability and vulnerable learners in your setting. We will provide psychological consultation, assessment, interventions and advice that focus upon narrowing gaps in attainment, improving academic progress, promoting emotional wellbeing and supporting social inclusion. Bespoke interventions can be developed and delivered on a needs led basis.
