Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 19 Link EP: Elisabeth Shepperd

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 38 Link EP: Helen Chilton

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 19 Link EP: Jenny Leatherbarrow

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 10 Link EP: Hayley Armstrong

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 7 Link EP: Victoria Morris

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 30 Link EP: Claire Cooper Jones

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 4 Link EP: Samantha Attwood

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 18 Link EP: Jenny Knight

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: 4 Link EP: Elisabeth Shepperd

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

Sessions Purchased: Link EP:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

The Educational Psychology Team are also running a significant number of courses next year to support your Senco to fulfil their role. Please log on to: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/ to browse ‘Training’ and make bookings. We are offering our courses in both Virtual (synopsis - video recorded) and Live(online presentation) formats to enable you to access the training in a way that best meets your needs. We will resume live training as soon as this is practicable.

I would like to draw your attention to the material in our BSOL area designed to helping in the event of a critical incident. It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.

 Parent – Carer / Student Consent Form  Making the most of your Early Help Consultation  Educational Psychology Traded Services Brochure 2020 - 21

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

Dear colleagues

Re: Educational Psychology Support 2020 – 21

I am writing to let you know about the support available to you from Bradford Educational Psychology Team in 2020 - 21.

The Educational Psychology Team has continued to work during the pandemic, successfully providing remote assessments and consultations, training and critical incident support to schools and families. I anticipate that we will continue in this way in the short term and resume site based visits as soon as we can.

The emotional aftermath of the pandemic is high on our agenda and we will be delivering a range of mental health support to schools via the Mental Health Champions Network, DfE Wellbeing Recovery training and our soon to be appointed Educational Emotional Wellbeing Practitioners. We are also re-running our successful ‘All Aboard’ programme to provide catch up opportunities for children in the Early Years. More details of all of these services will be posted on Bradford Schools Online, as soon as they are confirmed.

If you have purchased Educational Psychology sessions, these will be detailed below:

There are still a small number of EP sessions available to purchase for 2020 - 21. Please email me directly if you wish to make a purchase or request a quote via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

There will also be a number of EP hub consultation sessions available in your area (delivered remotely in the first instance). These are fully funded for maintained schools and enable your Senco to seek advice from an EP as and when they need it. Information about the EP Early Help hub sessions is available on Bradford Schools Online https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/ep-early-help-hubs and bookings can be made directly via the Skills4Bradford website: http://skills4bradford.co.uk/

It would be useful for a senior member of staff to familiarise themselves with this documentation as many settings have benefited from reflecting on their potential responses and being ‘wise before the event’.

The following documents are available on the EPT area on Bradford Schools Online. It would help if Sencos familiarise themselves with the contents of these documents at the beginning of the new term before beginning work with their Educational Psychologist or accessing the EP Early Help hub sessions.
