EPSS Purchase Freeze on NEW EP Contracts
Due to high demand for EP time, until further notice, Educational Psychology and Specialist Support (EPSS) will be unable to take on new EP-specific contracts. This means schools who have not already purchased any EP time for the 2023-2024 academic year will not be able to until further notice. We will continue to monitor this situation closely, and provide updates moving forward.
This will not affect non-EP contracts, and time remains available from Specialist Learning Support Teachers, the SEMH and Autism teams, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Clinical Psychology.
Schools with current (23-24) EP contracts may be able to purchase additional time, however, this will need to be discussed and agreed on a case-by-case basis. Please contact your coordinating EP or Specialist Learning Support Teachers if you have any questions.
