Educational Psychology

Educational Psychology is the practice of applying psychological theories and ideas to the difficulties that can arise for pupils, teachers, families and schools. EPs will use consultation to help deliver their services. This involves bringing psychology to discussions with adults and young people.

What is this service?

The Educational Psychologists in Cognus work with children and young people (0-25 years), families, schools and other practitioners to encourage the educational and social development and emotional well-being of children and young people.

The service provides guidance and support to schools on a range of issues, including raising the achievement of pupils, particularly those with additional needs. The understanding behind consultation is that each individual has unique knowledge to contribute to information sharing and problem solving.

Cognus Educational Psychology Service has developed guidance for professionals and families to support young people experiencing emotional barriers to school attendance which can be accessed here [External Link]
