Best practice guidance: Educational Psychologists who are invited to give evidence at a tribunal
N.B. Below are two versions of this document. The first is for EPs practicing in England and Northern Ireland. The second version is for EPs practicing in Wales.
After consultation with colleagues from Scotland it was felt that a guidance document on tribunals for Scottish EPs was not relevant as the Scottish system is very different and EPs are very rarely involved in tribunals.
The role of Educational Psychologists in Wales
This document was produced by the AEP and in partnership with the Welsh Government and provides information about the role of educational psychologists and their contribution to supporting the education and wellbeing of children and young people, their families, and communities in Wales.
Guidance for Trainee EPs – working as Locums
The AEP preferred position for Trainee Educational Psychologists in Years 2 & 3 is that they should be employed on the Soulbury scale for Trainee Educational Psychologists. However, many local authorities continue to utilise the bursary scheme, which is a significantly lower rate and causes financial challenges for many.
