Educational psychology support for schools and colleges

District meetings

The Educational Psychology Service (EPS) at Lancashire County Council provides a special educational needs (SEN) support offer for schools and colleges. These sessions are available to all schools in Lancashire.

Our SEN support offer focuses on providing systemic support to schools and colleges through a district-based group model. Schools are organised into 12 districts, each district will have two district EPs and will receive a district EP meeting per half term. District EPs will share the topics that will be covered within these district meetings, and how to book, on the Schools' Portal and by email to SENCos prior to the meetings.

The focus of EP district meetings is to support schools and colleges with systemic difficulties with the aim of facilitating inclusive practice and inclusive settings.

The EP district meetings will:

• facilitate collaborative discussions around areas of need or specific topics
• include a tailored training element, informed by SENCO feedback and district priorities
• support group problem-solving to help SENCOs identify next steps and practical solutions

The aim is to strengthen understanding and decision-making, enabling meaningful change for learners.
