New Approach for Falkirk EPS

Falkirk Educational Psychology Service has launched a new approach. The launch event is on the 3rd of September. See our letter

EPS New Approach August 2025

We have new way of requesting a service. As of the 8th of August 2025, all requests will need to go through the online request for assistance form.

There will no longer be a named psychologist for each school or nursery. There is more information on this Blog:

You will need the parent, guardian or child over 16’s email address in order for them to consent.

Modernising the Service 2025

 

Falkirk is changing how a request for assistance can be made.

Please have a look at our general information. We want to ensure we can respond to the demands and requests from within the resource we have.

The consultation and Survey have closed.

The Website has been updated

 

New Children’s Rights Legislation

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and University of Manchester have developed a short film to increase knowledge and awareness among parents and practitioners of new children’s rights legislation. The Education (Scotland) Act 2016 (commenced in January 2018) has provided children aged 12-15 years with Additional Support Needs (ASN) with independent rights regarding their education which are almost equivalent to those held by parents and young people, including the right to advice and information and to request particular types of assessment.

This short film incorporates the perspectives of education practitioners, children and young people with ASNs and various other organisations including the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland and the president of the ASN Tribunal for Scotland.

Please see the link to this short film.
