Background

About Bethan Thomson

I am currently an Assistant Educational Psychologist for Swindon Borough Council. My role involves collaborating with young people, families and schools to make school a better place. I am passionate about representing the views of children, young people and their families. I have experience working in an education charity supporting a range of students from different backgrounds to access higher education through workshops and 1:1 support. I have also worked as an SEN Teaching Assistant, where I worked with a number of pupils with special education needs. I graduated with an upper second-class honours in psychology from the University of Bath and have an interest in educational psychology and research within education. I have a good understanding of a range of special education needs including ASC, ADHD, attachment disorders and language and communication difficulties.
