Professor Sue Buckley:

The educational psychologist would be invited to take part in the annual review and at the annual review meeting, anybody putting in support to this child from outside school would be invited, so speech and language and the EP would be from outside. They do not always get to all of these meetings but they should attend. They are invited to attend and would comment on and be expected to submit written evidence if they were not attending. It is not just down to the school. I am an optimist and if one has really good expertise building in schools, one should be able to trust the school to do it. Often, that is fine.
