SUMMARY
The Department for Education has commissioned an annual educational psychology workforce survey since 2009. Surveys were previously undertaken by the Children's Workforce Development Council, but since April 2012, the responsibility transferred to the National College for Teaching & Leadership, formerly known as the Teaching Agency.
The researchers set out to collect demographic data on the educational psychology workforce and identify the types of service in which educational psychologists are working. They surveyed 115 local authorities, and gathered information on 1,799 educational psychologists - of these 84 per cent were female and 16 per cent male. Fifty two local authorities (41 per cent) reported vacancies for educational psychologists but only 38 were recruiting to fill those posts.
