We are very pleased to announce that, following a recent audit demonstrating 100% compliance, SEP has been granted BS EN ISO 9001:2015 for a further three years (August 2024).

Every so often, we allow ourselves a small ‘trumpet-blowing’ window… This time, we’re doing so on behalf of our MD’s daughter, Sophie, who has just graduated from Lancaster University with a First Class BSc Honours degree in Psychology. In order to be able to go on next year to study for a Masters Degree in Forensic Psychology, Sophie is now …
