Warwickshire Educational Psychology Service
About the Educational Psychology Service
We are a team of qualified Educational Psychologists (EPs), Trainee Educational Psychologists (TEPs), assistant EPs, and undergraduate psychology students working across the county. We support children and young people with a range of complex special educational needs and challenging life circumstances, from their earliest years through to young adulthood.
All children and young people develop and learn in their own way, but some may need more help with certain aspects, for example with:
- Their overall development
- Specific areas of learning, such as learning to read
- Social communication, playing with others and building relationships
- Managing their emotions and behaviour
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Engaging with school or learning
- Medical health needs that impact on their learning and their access to school
- Uncertainty around planning for the future and their journey to young adulthood.
The support of an EP involves providing help and advice to empower others (such as parents and carers, families, school staff, and other professionals) to support young people’s needs.
If you are a school looking for further information about how the EPS can support you and your students, please refer to the Warwickshire Educational Service (WES) webpages.
