Rising statutory assessment demand

More children and young people need assessment and support, putting real pressure on educational psychology services.

Greater scrutiny and accountability

Local authorities need robust, auditable quality assurance to show that statutory advice is consistent and meets expected standards.

Limited educational psychology capacity

Recruitment challenges and reliance on mixed teams of permanent, associate and trainee EPs make consistent quality assurance harder to achieve.

“I found the new QEPA module purposeful and useful. It provides a clear structure for quality assuring educational psychology reports and is particularly helpful in prompting consideration of key areas of report quality and supporting a more systematic approach to the audit process.”

"The new QEPA module is fantastic for any EP Service. It provides a standardised approach to auditing statutory EP advice for our mix of interim and permanent staff, providing insightful data to demonstrate quality and progress. In my busy role, the AI dashboard assistant is brilliant for supporting me in quickly pulling together comments and identifying where quality needs attention. I particularly like the automated moderation feature, ensuring EPs within the same service have a shared understanding of 'what good practice' looks like in a report and are auditing to a consistent standard.”

“The revised QEPA criteria represents a significant improvement. The new themes, greater nuance in scoring, and a stronger focus on the key principles underpinning high-quality EP practice provide a more meaningful way to evaluate the quality of advice. What I particularly appreciate about the enhanced module, looking at both the new criteria and reporting features, is its support for reflection, learning, and continuous improvement, making it a powerful tool for both quality assurance and professional development.”
