Research
As Doctorate trained Educational Psychologists, we understand the importance of research in supporting our evidence based practice and informing decision making processes within the organisations that we work.
We are passionate about continuing to add to the professional knowledge base by facilitating action research with our organisations, as well as carrying out our own real world, evidence informed research.
Our team is currently evaluating the impact of the EY ELSA training and supervision on EY practitioners and their settings and will be writing this up for publication.
Psychology First are constantly engaged in Action Research across the organisations in which we work. Current examples include: SEND Pathways and Processes; Thematic Analysis of need and Work Discussion Groups across Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), and The London Borough of Croydon; Understanding parents’ perceptions of the EP role and providing the community with greater access to our services.
