Educational psychology services: workforce insights and school perspectives on impact

Details

The Department for Education commissioned this research to identify:

  • the range of services that educational psychologists (EPs) provide
  • the demand for EP services
  • the impact that EP services have on children and young people, families, schools, and other professionals
  • the drivers and barriers to EPs entering and staying in the workforce

The research adopted a mixed-method approach, which included surveys, interviews, focus groups and case studies. It follows the Educational psychologist workforce research done in 2019.
