Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many educational psychologists were employed in all local authorities in each year since 2010.
The head count of educational psychologists reported as employed by all local authorities in England in November each year since 2010 is provided in the table below. Because not all local authorities provide the information requested (only 68-74%) these figures will understate the actual number of educational psychologists in each year.
2010 | 1,900 |
2011 | 1,750 |
2012 | 1,700 |
2013 | 1,700 |
2014 | 1,750 |
2015 | 1,650 |
