This is hard! Am discovering the reality of all the hours & hours of unpaid time I give to this job, having thought I was boundaried... #TwitterEPs #SaveOurServices

unseen and unknown by the majority of families but they are a vital part of the education system in the UK. Being unseen by the majority shouldn’t mean value can be eroded through underfunding. #SaveOurServices #TwitterEPs

No EP feels comfortable letting children, families and schools down but this strike is about making sure our profession is able to meet their needs and continue supporting them meaningfully and sustainably in an ever-increasingly difficult system #SaveOurServices

I’ve taken the very difficult decision to take strike action today to #SaveOurServices. Local Authority EP services are at breaking point with increasing workload, a narrower range of work & a recruitment/retention crisis, caused by years of systemic underfunding. We need change.

I've taken the tough decision to strike today, I love being an EP but the situation is becoming so difficult, too many YP need our support and not enough of us are able to stay in LA working to provide what we are capable of Association of Educational Psychologists #SaveOurServices #twittereps

Association of Educational Psychologists BBC Cornwall Cornwall Live Pirate #SaveOurServices Dr Will Cross, Cornwall's AEP rep explains why he is really concerned about spiralling workloads and less educational psychologists in local authorities to deliver services.

It feels a bit uncomfortable to be striking in my first year as a qualified EP, but I’m doing it for my colleagues, the future of the profession, and for the young people, families and communities we work with #twitterEPs #saveourservices

Today I am striking for better conditions, better pay, and better value for the communities and young people we serve. ✊ Association of Educational Psychologists #SaveOurServices

Many EPs are striking today. This isn’t about pay- it’s about us being able to do our job to help children, families and schools within a system that is is under intense pressure. I know this is such a hard decision for many of my qualified colleagues. Please #SaveOurServices

Absolute privilege and pleasure to speak at the AEP strike rally today with John McDonnell Paul Nowak dr.cynthia_pinto Gawain Little Dr Cath Lowther ‘Our dedication, hard work and expertise deserves more than a disrespectful 3% pay offer’

🏫Don't forget: it's a difficult decision to go on strike. For many AEP members, this is their first time going on strike - a clear message that their voices have not been listened to for too long. Long term investment is needed to protect EPs and to #SaveOurServices #TwitterEPs
