About EP for Schools

Hello, I’m Ian.

I’m Dr Ian Corban, an HCPC-registered educational psychologist and director of Corban Psychology Ltd. I work with schools and local authorities, helping staff understand pupils’ needs and turn recommendations into everyday support.

I created EP for Schools to make useful SEND advice easier to find. You can search by a question or classroom difficulty, or explore a topic to find practical ideas for supporting pupils.

How the knowledgebank is developed

This knowledgebank brings together practical SEND advice informed by UK school practice, published guidance and educational psychology. AI-assisted tools help with drafting and maintaining the site.

Using the advice

The articles provide general guidance rather than an individual assessment. Adapt suggestions to the pupil’s circumstances and check current official guidance when making statutory or procedural decisions.

Where relevant, articles link to tools and printable resources that an adult can use with a pupil. Choose what fits the pupil and the task, and review whether it helps.

Tools and written advice

Day by Day Tools offers practical apps and printable resources. PrecisionTeaching.uk supports short practice sessions and checks of taught skills.

For a specific school question, Ask an EP offers written advice personally prepared by me. You can find out about this and other professional services through Corban Psychology.

Feedback and corrections

If you spot an error, find something difficult to use or have a suggestion, please contact me. Leave out pupil names and identifying details.
