Services

The Moray Council Educational Psychology Service is involved in all aspects of educational provision for children and young people, in the age range birth to 19 years, who are in need or have additional support needs.

Under the Education (Scotland) Act 1981, the educational psychology service is a mandatory provision with prescribed functions concerned with the problems experienced by children and with the giving of psychological advice to parents, teachers and social workers.

A major role of the Educational Psychology Service is to involve the parents in discussion and planning and to ensure that they have maximum information on specialist provision and facilities available. The service has developed strong working links with other agencies ensuring that parents and children can be guided and helped by the most appropriate service.

The Educational Psychology Service is staffed by educational psychologists and all schools in the area have a designated psychologist who visits on a regular basis and is available to staff for assessment of pupils with additional support needs. The service operates throughout the year and is available to parents who have concerns about the behaviour or progress that pupils are displaying in or out of school.
