Educational psychology workforce report published
New research on the educational psychology (EP) workforce conducted by the IER on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE) is now available online.
The report draws on mixed-methods research to map the current distribution and demographic profile of the Local Authority (LA) EP workforce in England and, where possible, also the non-LA EP workforce. It provides evidence on factors driving shortages of trainee and qualified EPs in LAs facing recruitment and retention difficulties. It also makes recommendations on the current training model for EPs.
