Hi Katy
I know one Ed Psych who can sign, her name is Jo Herman and last I
heard she was living . working in the Portsmouth area, she was
associated for a long time with Lord Mayor Treloar College in Alton,
Hants, but I don't know if she still is. I don't have any current
contact details - you might get lucky with the phone directory or the
British Psychological Society register of Chartered Psychologists
(they are in Leicester - bps.org.uk is their email address I think).
Hope that helps.
Regards, Deb
