Call to hang on to psychologists

Education
The delivery of children's services could be at risk if councils go ahead with plans to remove principal educational psychologists, professionals have warned.

The professional body for educational psychologists has called for councils to retain these key posts amid the reorganisation of children's services.

Charles Ward, general secretary of the Association of Educational Psychologists (AEP), said: "Educational psychologists make a significant difference to the quality of local authority services, especially for our most vulnerable children."

The AEP has launched a policy statement setting out its vision for the management of educational psychology services.
