Today, we welcomed the Government's announcement that up to 20,000 more children are set to benefit from the Early Language Support for Every Child (ELSEC) programme which helps to identify & respond to speech & language needs: https://t.co/QCdgLlbpO3

If your child is likely to be affected by the government’s proposal to get rid of EHCPs for children in mainstream schools, please comment below and share the petition. Grateful if those who support disabled children’s rights would share too.

Speech & Language Therapy @UHD_NHS @UHDTherapies promoting Swallowing Awareness day 2025! Thank you to all those involved including our students @HealthSciUni

[RCSLT 💙 @RCSLT]

Swallowing Awareness Day highlights how speech and language therapists assist individuals with eating and swallowing challenges (#dysphagia).

Eating, drinking & swallowing is usually effortless, but can present difficulties for some people
