All EPs employed by Thurrock Council are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
We always:

- promote equality and inclusion
- work with respect for the views, cultures and values of service users
- work with school staff and other agencies
- use psychological models to make sense of situations and promote change
- use evidence-based approaches and reviewing professional practice in the light of research
