Training > Educational Psychologists
This course trains Educational Psychologists in school's duties under the Equality Act (EA) to disabled children in their care. It also looks at how reports written by EP's are used by schools, and by educational tribunals, and how the way that the report is written can have far-reaching consequences in the child's education.
