Educational Psychology Service (EPS): Safe and Successful Returns to School

The council's educational psychology service (EPS) has been appointed to provide practical guidance to schools across the UK, to help them recover and support children returning to school, after major incidents like the coronavirus pandemic.

The EPS has been appointed to work for the Association of Educational Psychologists (AEP) and National Association for Special Educational Needs (NASEN) on the major project.

By helping children get back to school, and re-establishing new daily routines, the council’s service will play a major role in supporting children’s health and wellbeing, following the upheaval of being in lockdown.

The UK-wide project includes producing a handbook, offering guidance and best practice, carrying out webinars, and co-authoring a blog, to help support the transition as more pupils go back to educational settings.

The work will is designed so that schools can refer to it for recovery and return following any significant events in the future, similar in impact to the pandemic.
