PsychScope: An EP-Legal RoadMap - Session 2 Recording - Using AI in your EP Practice
Webinar Recording and accompanying PPT slides.
 
Illuminating the path for EPs

Build confidence, clarity and practical know‑how for EP practice with guidance from an educational psychologist (Maxine Caine of Max Purpose Psychology) and a sector‑specialist commercial solicitor (Clare Veal of Aubergine Legal).
 
This recording  was our second session of PsychScope: An EP–Legal Roadmap, a new space designed to support Educational Psychologists navigating the practical, ethical and legal realities of practice.
 
AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday EP practice - from drafting reports to summarising notes, generating resources, and supporting service delivery. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Educational Psychologists must navigate GDPR, safeguarding, HCPC expectations, consent, transparency, and the emerging regulatory landscape. This session gives you the clarity and structure you need to use AI confidently, ethically and safely.
 
In this session we:
 
demystify what “safe” and “compliant” AI use looks like for EPs
walk you through the essential due‑diligence steps before using any AI tool, including checking developer reliability, data handling, and GDPR compliance
explain when and how to complete a DPIA, and what risks EPs must assess
explore how to update your client T&Cs and privacy policy to reflect AI use, including transparency, lawful basis and data minimisation
unpack the consent requirements for AI - including explicit consent for health data and accessible explanations for families
highlight the key regulatory frameworks EPs must follow (HCPC, ICO, BPS, EU AI Act)
share practical examples of how to use AI tools ethically while protecting confidentiality, IP, and professional judgement
provide you with practical takeaways you can use immediately in your practice
 
Recording Duration: 55 minutes and 50 seconds and comes with PPT slides.
