- Referral Details
Pre school children
Professionals such as health visitors or doctors, or staff in pre-school settings can make a referral to the Pre-School Liaison Group (a team of people from Health, Social Services, the Voluntary Sector and Education who meet regularly to talk about and plan for children under 5 years who have additional/special educational needs). The Educational Psychology Service becomes involved with pre-school children and their families through the Pre School Liaison Group.
School age children
Every Redbridge maintained school has an EP who makes regular visits. Where the school is concerned about a child, they may involve the Educational Psychologist (with parental permission).
Parents may contact the Service direct by telephone to ask for general advice.
Post 16
EPs may also become involved with young people over 16 with Statements of Special Educational Needs or Education Health and Care Plans.
