Derbyshire Educational Psychology Service

Derbyshire County Council is inviting quotations to establish a framework of between 1-6 associates to work with the Local Authority Educational Psychology Service. The associates' role is to support the delivery of Educational Psychology Services to schools, colleges, early years settings, children and families through the provision of high quality psychological input.

This may include consultation, assessment, training and direct interventions to children and young people in Derbyshire, across the Derbyshire region. Derbyshire Educational Psychology Service provides both 'core' (Local Authority funded) and 'purchased' (School funded) work to schools.

Most Derbyshire schools have subscribed to the Service and receive a guaranteed level of input; others receive core work only, to a defined maximum level. The Service works with children and young people aged 0-25 in line with the National SEND reforms agenda and may work with maintained and non-maintained EY settings as well as further education institutions. The Service provides statutory advice to the Local Authority as part of Education, Health and Care Needs Assessments.
