Survey for School Psychologists (SPs) and Student Support Officers (SSOs)

Thank you for completing this survey. We want to know how we can best connect and support our SP and SSO members who work in schools across NSW.

The PSA has received member feedback that many SPs and SSOs are not being provided with a fit-for-purpose work space. The PSA respects your privacy. Your responses will assist PSA Industrial staff to better connect with you and to address your matters of concern with DoE management.
