Employers

CWDC is keen to focus the provision of Educational Psychology professional training on the needs of the employer.

Subscription

Letters were sent to DCSs with information about CWDC's intention to request Local Authority subscription for the financial year 2009/10 in September. The letter can be read here.

The scheme covers the full costs of fees for all three years and the bursary for Year 1. Employers will not be expected to meet the costs of fees for specific trainees in addition to the subscription.

Regional networks

The regional networks are responsible for identifying workforce demand and making arrangements for trainee employment or bursaried places for Years 2 and 3 of the training.

Representatives from each region will attend National Forum meetings. The National Forum meets quarterly to advise CWDC on workforce planning and provides a forum for discussion. In addition to regional representation, other key stakeholders are represented, including the British Psychological Society, the Association for Educational Psychologists, the Health Professionals Council and training providers.

Consultation

The deadline for responses to the consultation was 30th May 2008. If you would like to view the document, please follow this link. A report of the findings will be available from here in early July 2008.

The final report of the consultation 'Building a sustainable system of Educational Psychology entry training' is now available to download.
