We are currently trialing the use of a time allocation model, therefore all school work is agreed between schools and their link; there are no referral processes or thresholds to access school work. The trial of time allocation will be extended, due to the covid pandemic, and reviewed in July 2022.
Educational Psychologists complete assessments for Education, Health and Care Plans.
Local Offer: Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
The time allocation model gives a number of hours to each school for Educational Psychology and Specialist Teacher time.
