The ‘Promoting Racial Inclusion in Training’ Reflective Framework (PRIT): Development of a tool to support EPs when designing and delivering training

Since the Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM) of 2020, issues relating to anti-racist practice have been increasingly present. In education, there has been discourse around needing to decolonise curriculums, to ensure they are more reflective of global history and relate to diverse populations. Many Educational Psychology Services (EPS) and training courses have stated their commitment to developing their anti-racist practice. One example of action being taken on the Tavistock & Portman course, is the implementation of the ‘Promoting racial equity in Educational Psychology Services’ task in the first year EPS placement. This paper outlines one of these projects, which explores EP practice in relation to delivering training, in one Local Authority (LA). A brief description of the task is included, along with results from a focus group with EPs, as well as explanation relating to the development of a tool to support future practice. Reflections on the task are included, along with considerations for practice.
