Partnering with Parents, Carers, and Schools

In every assessment process, collaboration with key stakeholders—parents, carers, educators, and other professionals ("the Commissioner")—is vital. Our approach includes consultations with parents, carers, and teaching staff to gather comprehensive insights. Commissioners ensure that schools are informed about Educational Psychology (EP) visits in advance. No individual work is undertaken without the express agreement of the Commissioner, ensuring full alignment between all parties.

After the assessment, outcomes and recommendations are shared with relevant stakeholders, ensuring everyone is part of the decision-making process. This approach fosters transparency and helps build cohesive strategies that benefit the individual’s long-term development and well-being.
