Bury Education Psychology Service
Bury Education Psychology Service has set up a helpline on Mondays between 1 pm and 3.30pm and Wednesdays between 9.30am and 12.00pm.
This is to provide advice and support for schools/parents of children and young people with SEND. Within the context of the current situation that exists due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Educational Psychologists will be able to give advice on issues such as:
