Sharon Hodgson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sharon Hodgson on 2016-04-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many current advertised vacancies there are in local authority educational psychology services.

Edward Timpson

The Department does not collect information on the current advertised vacancies in local educational psychology service. This information is collected by an external organisation, the Association of Educational Psychologists (AEP).

The AEP are the main advertiser of educational psychology posts in England and send us their figures, on a monthly basis. This information is broken down by the total number of educational psychology posts being advertised in the private and public sector. These figures could include other areas of the public sector that employ the profession such as schools and NHS services, as well as local educational psychology services, so we are unable to provide this information.
