Whilst this is a critical practice function; to what extent is it impacting on the profession’s capacity to deliver effective preventative work now and into the future?

Join fellow Educational Psychologists as we explore this pressing issue at our online SEND Briefing, facilitated by Ben Powell.

The Event

Facilitated by Ben Powell, our Director of SEND Services, in this SEND Briefing, we will explore key issues related to preventative work in Educational Psychology, including:

• What do we mean by preventative work?
• With finite time, how do EP services determine where to deliver effective preventative work? What are the commissioning, leadership and practice factors?
• Is preventative work delivered by EPs high on the local/national SEND agenda?
• How can important bodies such as regional PEP/EP groups, The AEP, NAPEP, BPS and University Doctoral Courses; do more in promoting and influencing government policy in this area?

Ben has been practising educational and child psychologist for 14 years. During that time he has been a Principal Educational Psychologist in two local areas; strategically led a range of specialist educational services; and been in executive-level leadership. Ben is a passionate champion about Inclusion, SEND and making a positive difference.
