Functions and Contribution of Educational Psychologists in England and Wales in light of 'Every Child Matters: Change for Children'

Description	The implementation of the Every Child Matters (ECM) legislation represents, for Educational Psychologists (EPs), the most significant national strategic development since the publication of the DfEE (2000) report on the role of educational psychology services. The ECM agenda makes outcomes for children central to integrated Children's Services that form a team around the child and family in the context of community and school. Outcomes for children are specified through aims, targets, indicators and inspection criteria which are grouped around five main areas. This new and rapidly changing context presents challenges and opportunities for the evolving role of the profession of educational psychology and forms the backdrop against which this review was conducted. The study focuses on the views of a range of stakeholders as to the distinctive contribution that EPs can make in the newly established childrens services where there is an increased emphasis on multi-agency working and on the facilities and barriers that may exist.
