Methodology

Criteria, integrated official sources, validation rules and limits of the observed base used by the platform.

What the platform observes

The platform observes regular school psychology provision in each AE/ENA. It counts psychologists whose work in that context fits the Referential for the Intervention of Psychologists in School Context, in articulation with Law no. 54/2025.

Authenticated submission: service, students, psychologists and professional characterization are submitted by psychologists with validated AE/ENA access.
Integrated official measures: TEIP, DGE reference-school networks and UAARE may be prefilled from official lists.
Institutional size: the number of school sites may be prefilled from official administrative data.

The platform combines authenticated professional reporting with already published official information.

TEIP4 - DGE list of organisational units admitted to TEIP4 (approved on 16 July 2024).
DGE reference-school networks (vision, bilingual education and early intervention).
UAARE - UAARE National School Network.

The initial access request is associated with a single AE/ENA.
After activation, additional AE/ENA access can be requested from the professional dashboard.
Access is subject to initial validation and periodic revalidation.

Public statistics are calculated only from AE/ENA with visible public data at a given moment.

No visible data does not, by itself, mean that no psychology provision exists.

The platform manages access and version history, but it does not autonomously verify the full material accuracy of every submission.

Errors, omissions or outdated information should be reported to [email protected].
