Senior-led Educational Psychology assessment and EHCP statutory advice
Corban Psychology Ltd provides independent Educational Psychology assessment and written advice commissioned by schools, multi-academy trusts (MATs) and local authorities across the North West of England. Work is designed to align with statutory decision-making for EHC needs assessments and EHCP processes (we do not accept direct referrals from parents or carers).
Assessments are typically completed in school, with remote elements used where appropriate. Reports are written to be clear, defensible and usable in real-world settings — not just technically correct.
Remote consultation-only work:
For schools requiring online EP consultation rather than in-person assessment,
a separate service is available at
epforschools.co.uk
Who this service is for
- Schools seeking consistent, senior EP input rather than rotating agency staff
- MATs requiring dependable assessment capacity and predictable delivery
- Local authorities commissioning independent educational psychology advice
- Complex SEND cases requiring robust formulation and defensible recommendations
Work is commissioned by schools, MATs and local authorities, and structured to support statutory processes. This approach prioritises clarity, consistency, and professional accountability.

- Information sharing (documents and background information provided securely)
- Assessment (typically in school; remote elements where appropriate)

What you can expect
- Clear communication and agreed timescales
