Locum Educational Psychologist Dear Locum EP's We have a question. How are you doing? No, really, we really want to know. Being a locum EP can be great but there are also a few drawbacks: When was the last time you truly connected with another EP at work? How much CPD have you genuinely been able to arrange, and did you do it on your own? What supervision arrangements do you have? (And do you actually get to follow through with them?) At Cheshire East we love our locums. We really do. Locums are part of us. That's not management speak, it's really true. We want to get to know you. We want to support you. We like hearing from you.
