At present radical changes to the operational working practices of educational psychologists in the UK are planned, and these are due to be implemented in law commencing 2014. It is anticipated that these changes will impact significantly on the role and service delivery models adopted by educational psychologists. For example, there is an expectation that educational psychologists will work more closely with health and social care colleagues, and will provide support for children and young people from birth to 25 years of age (DfE, 2012). The practice of consultation as a model of service delivery is currently coming under scrutiny in terms of how suitable this practice is, as well as the relevance to the future changes of education, health and social care operating collectively to provide support services for children and young people.
