The Psychological Service is a statutory service within East Ayrshire Economy and Skills: Education. The team provide advice and support to the establishments in East Ayrshire<\/a> for all children and young people.<\/p>\n

EPs work with children and young people from birth to 24 years of age. They advise education authorities, school staff and, importantly, parents\/carers on the needs of children and young people with additional support needs (ASN) and the educational provision required for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Educational psychologists have a unique role in working at different levels within the education system, linking casework to the development of policy and strategy. They provide direct support to individual children and young people and often work with and through others. This enables more children and young people to benefit from educational psychological skills and knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

EPs undertake research and contribute to the professional development of, for example, teachers, social workers, and support staff to enhance outcomes for children and young people.<\/span><\/p>\n

A key role for EPs is prevention and early intervention. EPs work to support schools to create positive, inclusive environments which foster and develop children\u2019s and young people\u2019s resilience and wellbeing to impact positively on emotional and mental health. Much of this work results in raising attainment and equity for all, thereby extending beyond those children and young people with ASN.<\/span><\/p>\n
