Thank you for visiting the CEDs website

A Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) approach to talking with young people about their school experiences.

The Children’s Exploratory Drawings are a set of simple drawings of common school scenes which can be used for exploring how a young person thinks about their life at school, themselves as a member of the school community and the other members of that community through careful and well-timed questioning, conversation, and storytelling. There is a range of pictures to choose from and the CEDs can be used with a wide range of ages and development stages. Explore the website for more information and other useful documents.
