Fantastic visit to Neath Port Talbot Youth Justice service with @SteveJamieson12

Great to meet with speech & language therapists working in youth justice teams across Wales & other professionals who work with them.

Clear the vital role SLTs play within justice system.

Great to have @CotterillPippa @RCSLTWales join us at @NPTYouthJustice for our South Wales YJ/SEBD peer support group. Looking forward to what 2024 has to bring
