What a fabulous day. I got to meet @MichaelRosenYes and he was so lovely. He signed books for us and I cheekily gave him a signed copy of my book! We bonded over books and voice therapy. Thanks Michael! #languagedevelopment #childrensbook #authorlife #mySLTDay

@BeckyHyland3 The same thing happens in speech therapy. It’s quite disheartening.

@leckiegeorgia @NHS_GM Absolutely ethics is the crucial issue. Failure to correctly identify need is unethical. Saying that they are “meeting need” when they are not is unethical. I’m in private practice and having to call this out all the time with local NHS services. It’s embarrassing.

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@SpeechAndLangUK Absolutely!!! Thanks for not staying silent on this issue. I’ve been waiting for @RCSLT to publicly advocate around this issue.

#LetThemHaveTheirVoices is making some noise about access to #AAC at the House of Lords in June. We are gathering information to share as part of the presentation.
#SaLTs working with non-speaking autistic children, please complete this questionnaire.

@SLT_Francesca This is fab!!

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@SLT_Francesca @talkingoutcomes The fees should cover more than the website and CPD opportunities. I think Francesca is frustrated that we are struggling with unethical EHCPs being written whilst our reports are ignored and our clients are suffering. Surely @RCSLT has a duty of care to the profession.

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@SENDinfoBucks @SLT_Francesca @DavidMc80397417 @Royal_Greenwich @RCSLT @The_HCPC So what is their true agenda? I thought they were supposed to raise the profile of our profession and the importance of the advocacy of communication rights in society as a professional core value.

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@RCSLT @SENDinfoBucks I am involved with this campaign and hoping to write something to submit for the bulletin. I thought you might be interested in what we are trying to do with our grassroots initiative. Are you able to share this? #LetThemHaveTheirVoices

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

Have you donated yet? https://t.co/k8tfXtyRaU #LetThemHaveTheirVoices

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@RCSLT wouldn’t this be good to include in the #RCSLT #Bulletin We are available to write a piece or take part in an interview to share this initiative.

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@SENDinfoBucks @SLT_Francesca @DavidMc80397417 @Royal_Greenwich @RCSLT Yes charity makes sense. So it seems they now have government contracts where they previously had government grants. There’s a transfer of power there.

@1993helen1993 @martinimarie @stevenmwright @suffolkcc I’m so sorry to hear this. You are not alone, it’s happening everywhere. It’s in the news daily but how long before anyone actually does anything about it?!

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@stevenmwright @martinimarie @suffolkcc It is all down to money. It is cheaper to pay for the cases that go to tribunal as they represent a small percentage of cases than it would be to actually fund the delivery of necessary provision. The sad part is the lie -“This is all the child needs” when we all know it’s not!

@SENDinfoBucks @SLT_Francesca @DavidMc80397417 @Royal_Greenwich @RCSLT All therapists pay them annually for registration fees.

[Marissa Webb 👩🏻‍💻 @MarissaGPWebb]

@SENDinfoBucks @SLT_Francesca @DavidMc80397417 @Royal_Greenwich @RCSLT @The_HCPC Yes that word “consider” appears extremely vague to their advantage. I’m still trying to get @RCSLT to weigh in on this publicly. Am I fighting a losing battle? @SLT_Francesca are you able to enlighten on the outcome of your meeting and whether there is a clear next step?
