Suggest that even with their God-like omnipotence 'Chief' Ed Psychs are
ill-advised to make comments on people they haven't assessed
or even met themselves and ill-advised to call into question the
assessments of others in their profession who, one assumes, have
similar qualifications to themselves and have the amazing advantage of
actually having met with the people assessed. (We've been through this
stuff before, haven't we?)
It ain't what I'd call best practice.
By the way, and I am NOT kidding, some of my best friends are Local
Authority Ed Psychs.
