Local authorities

Experienced EP support for busy local authority teams.

Firefly Psychology provides flexible, experienced Educational Psychology capacity to local authorities, so that children and young people get the support they need without delay.

How I can support your service

EHC needs assessments

Statutory psychological advice for one-off Education, Health and Care needs assessments, delivered thoroughly and on time.

Traded and SLA work

Additional capacity to help you meet Service Level Agreement commitments to schools, settings and other commissioners.

Projects and initiatives

Support with local authority projects, from early years and inclusion initiatives to training and service development.

Flexible commissioning

My services can be commissioned on an ad hoc basis when your EP team needs extra capacity to meet demand, or termly where there is an ongoing need.

I have worked within a number of local authority Educational Psychology services with children and young people aged 0–25, including in early years settings, specialist and alternative provisions, and with the virtual school for children who are looked after. I understand the statutory framework, the pressures on EP teams and the importance of clear, high-quality, timely advice.
