We’re presenting at the Edpsy festival next week facilitating a reflective session using the tree of life franework. We hope to support current and aspiring TEPs to think about personal and professional identity and how we can support collective action within the profession. #edpsychs

💭We want to establish an 'edpsy TEP group' The energy and grassroots innovation of TEPs deserves a greater chance to influence what we do. Take a read and if interested, complete an expression of interest by 19th May. Please share with your TEP colleagues edpsy.org.uk/blog/2025/we... #edpsychs

We want to work closer with trainees inspired by edpsy and hopeful for our profession - edpsy.org.uk

The energy and grassroots innovation of TEPs deserves a greater chance to influence what we do. We know that trainee...

Great discussion Re the EP role, & representation. Mainly people who are supported by parents or partners able to apply. Limiting diversity. I waited ~15 years to apply as 1yr masters changed to 3 yr doctorate. I’d stayed as P/T so the training fees were nearly a match to my income.

Join us as we watch Dr Shyla Barclay and Dr Jason Apaloo-Shonibare (TEPICC founding member) - two incredible EPs breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of changemakers. Watch as trailblazing EPs share their authentic journey and show why representation matters. #TEPICC #edpsych

This is a great interview exploring what educational psychology is all about. I enjoyed hearing about their journeys into EP world and reflecting on positionality and representation as EPs. Made me definitely think about when I might or might not use my Dr title in the future! #edpsychs

"Let's start there"... the conversation around "Dr"... So important. I love hearing Jason's thoughts, so it's great to have a long form conversation here. Also, really appreciated Shyla's "you still can" when Yannick said "I thought I might want to be an EP". Let's not take things off the table ☀️
