Educational Psychology
Service - what we do
We are involved in many areas of
work, including learning, behaviour and social and emotional
development.
We work closely with children and young
people, parents and carers, teachers and a range of other
professionals to support the overall development and progress of
children and young people in Newham.
Whilst we may work directly with young
people, we often become involved in helping the adults who work
with children and young people, including parents and teachers, to
work as effectively as possible. We can provide workshops for
parents and INSET to schools and nurseries.
We work in a range of multidisciplinary contexts, with a
wide range of different professionals from Education, Health and
Social Services.
We also work at the level of organisations across a range
of Local Education Authorities and community contexts. Our work
might include, for example, supporting the Local Education
Authority or schools and nurseries in developing policy and
practice, research and evaluation
activities.
All of our Educational Psychologists have a degree in psychology or
its equivalent, have undertaken professional training in
educational psychology and are all qualified and experienced
teachers.
