TACAccess - Self-Employed Educational Psychologist

Helping Deliver the Future of Inclusive Education

Educational Psychologists play a vital role in improving outcomes for children and young people. As schools and colleges respond to increasing levels of SEND, mental health needs and neurodiversity, demand for timely specialist support has never been greater. The Department for Education's proposed Experts at Hand model and the Inclusive Mainstream Fund (IMF) aim to strengthen inclusive practice by giving education settings faster access to specialist expertise, enabling earlier intervention and reducing reliance on costly crisis support.

Developed with our partners, TACaccess helps deliver this vision.

Our secure commissioning platform already connects mental health counsellors and therapists directly with schools, colleges, Local Authorities, Multi-Academy Trusts, health organisations and families across the UK. We are now welcoming HCPC-registered Educational Psychologists into our community. By simplifying procurement and reducing administration, TACaccess helps ensure more public funding is invested in frontline support rather than agency fees, while enabling schools and colleges to maximise the impact of their Inclusive Mainstream Fund allocations.
