Educational Psychologists in Surrey
Educational psychology can help schools and families understand learning needs, plan support and prepare evidence. Begin with school support and Surrey’s current statutory routes.
How educational psychology can help
Educational psychologists can help understand learning needs, plan support and contribute evidence. School routes, Surrey County Council involvement and optional private input are different routes that should be considered carefully.
Start with school
Ask the SENCO what support has been tried, how progress is reviewed and whether specialist advice has already been considered.
Current Surrey route
Surrey County Council remains the current statutory route for EHC needs assessments and related evidence until responsibilities are formally reviewed and transferred.
Before paying privately
Ask what question the work will answer, whether school can use the report and whether the practitioner is registered with the HCPC.
