Lab Building
Bounded EP Service
Most services work like this: a school calls, an educational psychologist visits, a report is written, and the case closes. This one keeps learning. Every question a school asks updates one shared formulation of the child. Every outcome staff log shapes the next recommendation. Every psychologist's best work becomes the whole team's. It is designed for local authorities in England, with practising educational psychologists.
The idea we are testing
Connected to the Bounded Companion
Families and schools can bring what they have recorded in the Bounded Companion to the educational psychologist, and the advice from each consultation goes back into it, so the formulation keeps updating between visits.
Where it is now
There is nothing to try yet. We are shaping it with the people it is for, and will show it once it works.
When it is ready, it graduates into a product or service.
Who it is for
An answer when the question comes up, and an explanation of the child that becomes more accurate over the year.
Less time rebuilding a case from scratch and more time on the judgements only a psychologist can make, learning from the team's best work as they go.
A service that improves the more it is used, works with non-identifiable data, and shows what changed for each child.
Taking part
We are building the first version with practising educational psychologists. If you lead SEND or educational psychology in a local authority in England and would like to see it, write to Ricardo.
