Training and Practicing Standards for Educational Psychologists in the Republic of Ireland

Current Trends and Future Possibilities

Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Limerick, Republic of Ireland

This article reviews the requirements to practice for educational psychologists in the main employer base in the Republic of Ireland. The discrepancies between recruitment standards by the main employer of educational psychologists in Ireland and the training standards for the profession as laid down by the governing body for psychology are debated. The implications for the profession are considered. The need for a shared vision, a consensus of opinion in relation to the identity, role and function of educational psychologists and the need for a proactive response to address training skills shortages are explored.
