Our partnership of schools work closely together to develop a high quality service that best supports the need of our Schools. We have an effective working relationship with Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council. We also have effective relationships with Universities (Loughborough and Nottingham) where we adopt a professional developmental approach taking undergraduate volunteers up to trainee educational psychologists.\u00a0 We work closely with Leicestershire Paediatrics too in supporting autism assessment work.\u00a0 We have been awarded an approved trainer licence for Solihull Approach and are approved training and supervision provider for the ELSA Network. A more recent development for EPIC is a partnership with the Autism Education Trust to deliver training to schools in Northamptonshire.<\/p><p>Using applied psychology, we adopt proactive\/preventative, systemic and targeted approaches in consultation with schools to identify and assess areas of emotional health and well-being where educational psychology support can make a positive difference. We aim to build capacity in school communities by helping the members to understand complexity and plan interventions with clarity in order to nurture children\u2019s well-being and learning. To make sure all systems and communications with stakeholders are clear so that the EP service\/provision is transparent and schools feel supported.

In addition to assessments and regular support they have delivered specialist intervention training for our staff that has enhanced provision, we have been part of a well-being study that gave our children the chance to voice their opinions and also have facilitated one to one sessions with our teachers and educational psychologist that really supported strategies and advice within the classroom bespoke to their situation.
