How to read the data
Short guide to interpret the observed base and indicator limits.
Short guide to distinguish dataset coverage, service provision and the limits of the observed base.
1. What the map shows, strictly speaking
The map shows the public information currently visible for each AE/ENA: school-level aggregated data and some integrated official measures.
The unit of analysis is the AE/ENA, not the individual. The aim is to make the institutional psychology provision visible.
2. What cannot be concluded from missing data
No public data does not mean no service, no professionals or legal non-compliance. It only means the platform has no visible data for that AE/ENA yet.
The results describe the observed base; they are not a complete real-time census.
3. Three states that should not be confused
There are three different states. They should not be treated as equivalent.
- Public data with service reported: information was submitted and the regular psychology provision was marked as existing.
- Public data with no service reported: information was submitted, but regular school psychology provision was marked as not existing at that moment.
- No public data: the platform does not yet display public information for that AE/ENA.
4. How to interpret ratios
Ratios are calculated only for AE/ENA with visible public data. They should always be used together with the observed coverage.
The full-time-equivalent ratio better reflects service intensity when full-time and part-time workloads coexist.
5. Why some measures may already be filled in
Some fields may be prefilled from official sources, such as TEIP, reference-school networks, UAARE or number of school sites.
This reduces redundancy and avoids asking professionals to repeat public information already available elsewhere.
6. Timeliness and revision
Each record is a snapshot. Changes in team composition, students, workloads or institutional context may require updates.
Version history and correction by validated professionals support those changes.
7. What the platform already allows and what it still does not allow
The platform shows observed coverage, reported service configurations and aggregated indicators. It does not, by itself, support full national coverage claims or causal policy evaluation.
Its value grows with wider coverage, better consistency and comparable history.
Responsible use
When using these data, always state the observed coverage, consultation date and limits of the available base.
