EMMA VINER is an educational psychologist (EP) at Tower Hamlets Council in London.
‘EPs help children or young people experiencing problems within an educational setting. I work in a large team of about 25 full and part-time EPs. We have an office in Tower Hamlets Town Hall, but most days I’m out visiting nurseries, schools, children’s centres and families at home.
‘I have a number of children’s settings allocated to me at the start of each school year. In Tower Hamlets, every maintained setting receives a core number of EP visits. They can also purchase additional time. Private schools or nurseries tend to buy EP services from private providers. It works differently across local authorities.
