Cardiff Educational Psychology ServiceOver the last year, PCPA worked with the Cardiff Educational Psychology
Service to develop a customised Foundation Course for the team.
Fifteen staff attended 6 study days combined with independent reading
and PCP-based supervision and co-consulting. Most staff had previous
experience of PCP and so we were able to work in some depth and
detail. The application of PCP to contemporary EP practice was a
fascinating journey for all of us, and the team felt the value of
training together in a shared theoretical approach.
