I can inform the Deputy that a new educational psychologist was assigned to the school referred to by the Deputy in January this year. Prior to this  a member of the local NEPS team provided a service to the school which involved  responding to queries from the school, access to critical incident support if needed, casework, case consultation and access to the Scheme for the Commissioning of Psychological Assessments (SCPA).
