Abstract
This paper describes a pilot project aimed at developing a cohesive service delivery model to the large numbers of non-maintained early years settings which may now in theory request the support of an educational psychologist. Based on an inclusive model, a cluster of SENCos met on a regular basis with an educational psychologist and were trained to audit their settings for inclusion. Once this basic training had been completed, regular consultation sessions were held, in order to help the SENCos develop inclusive solutions for all the children in their care.
This qualitative evaluation of the project describes its planning and implementation and will be of interest to any educational psychology service contemplating service delivery to this sector.
