The Educational Psychology Service is launching a new telephone support service to help provide advice and consultation to West Lothian families, school staff, and our partner agencies during these unusual times. We aim to provide support, advice, or even just a listening ear for anyone who has concerns about how to support their own or a child’s wellbeing.
The service will be available from Monday 30th March, Monday to Friday from 9.30-12.30 and people are invited to call in to our main EPS number on 01506 283130 or send an email to our general email box at: ed.psych@westlothian.gov.uk to leave a message and an Educational Psychologist will call them back.
We would advise anyone who calls or emails in to give a brief description of the reason for their call and the child’s name (if they’re calling in relation to a particular child or young person) in their message. This will help us to direct calls to an EP who may already be known to the family or member of staff, though we welcome calls from everyone—regardless of whether they’ve had previous involvement with our service or not.
We are also regularly updating helpful information and resources to our website that anyone can access: https://www.westlothian.gov.uk/article/50765/Coronavirus-Helpful-Resources
