London Borough of Lewisham awarded a contract to Reed Consultancy+ for the provision of locum educational psychologists to support statutory education, health, and care services.

The contract, valued at £300,000, addresses staffing shortfalls within the Lewisham Educational Psychology Service, which faced 6 full-time equivalent vacancies and 1.5 FTE maternity leave in the 2023-24 academic year.

The service implemented a recruitment and retention strategy to increase permanent staff and reduce reliance on agency locums, securing 3.5 FTE new staff for September 2024 and 1 FTE for September 2025, with an autumn 2024 campaign targeting an additional 2 FTE for September 2025.
