This page provides a link to reviews of school based interventions. They were written by UCL Year 1 Trainee Educational Psychologists and submitted as a formally assessed piece of coursework on the Doctorate in Educational and Psychology. The trainees in each cohort collaborated in selecting different interventions so that they could also produce a resource of value both to their group and to Educational Psychology Services.

One set of reports is currently available:

• Interventions Implemented by Parents. This set was produced by the 2010-13 cohort of trainees.

Each report is structured as follows:

1. Summary - provides a brief description of the intervention and the conclusions of the review.
2. Introduction - describes the intervention, its basis in theory/research and how it is currently used.
3. Systematic Review of the Evidence Base - reports and critically analyses available studies that have attempted to evaluate the intervention.
4. Conclusions and recommendations.
5. References and appendices.
