Looking forward to spending some time reading and reflecting on the ideas in this article. As a profession we need to review the cultural biases and implications of our theories and practice much more #twittereps

#SaveOurServices no one wants to strike, but EPs are burning out. Recruitment and retention is a massive issue and it impacts our ability to support children and young people in need. We need change, urgently!

[Dr Fiona Coley 🚀 The Ed Psych Coach @fiona_coley]

As I'm not eligible to take industrial action (not Soulbury paid), I am aiming to support the action by raising awareness and showing solidarity.

I created this infographic to highlight some of the key issues in our profession currently.

[Association of Educational Psychologists @AEPsychologists]

📢 Today, many EPs in England & Wales start a period of industrial action short of strike in a campaign to #SaveOurServices.

🗣️ “They’re taking action to ensure our children and young people see an educational psychologist if they need to & when they need to.”

@AEPsychologists Please can we have a simple visual like this for why we are taking industrial action

@beccygibsonk It’s hard to tell as there are so many factors at play - feedback has been positive though and there have been success stories of people achieving a place after years of trying. I think, as a profession, we need to be addressing things earlier though (e.g. YP in schools / uni)

[Dr Ida Conboy @IdaconboyEP]

This was our 2nd year organising mentoring for people from ethnic minoritised groups who were interested in becoming EPs. We are very grateful to the many EPs and TEPs who gave up their time! Here’s some of their feedback #twittereps
