West Northamptonshire Council (“the Authority”) is seeking to appoint a single supplier to provide Educational Psychology services to support the completion of statutory Educational Health and Care Needs Assessments (EHCNAs).
The Authority currently has a backlog of approximately 130 statutory assessments requiring Psychological Advice. The successful provider will supply qualified Associate Educational Psychologists (EPs) to undertake assessments and produce Psychological Advice reports within the statutory EHCNA process.
The service is required to support the Authority in reducing waiting times for families and meeting its statutory duties.
