Abstract At a time of great interest into the role of educational psychologists (EPs) and how their time is allocated to key activities (DfEE, 1997a), and the onset of LEA inspections, a review of research literature has shown that, historically, there have been few published studies into how educational psychology services (EPSs) plan the deployment of the time of EPs. Furthermore, little information is available about how EPSs allocate time to schools or how they convey information to service‐users about their service delivery. The aim of the present study was to conduct a substantive and original piece of research into the differing structures that support the service delivery of EPs. A variety of practice was found across services, and recommendations are made in relation to greater consistency of practice across the profession.
