Government must take urgent action to ensure sufficient funding for speech & language therapy, and for the wider system that supports children and young people, including local authorities, early years providers, schools and colleges.

We need to think differently about children who aren’t fine at school. We need to stop saying the problem is them. We need to stop the interventions which assume their feelings are irrational. That’s what I’m talking about next week. Come and join me. https://t.co/t5uUdpVnb9

This very point was one @RCSLT & @ASLTIP_UK made in our joint #SENDReview policy statement on @educationgovuk's #SENDReview ▶️https://t.co/0m8Alh540K

Early intervention, both in the early years and beyond, is crucial to prevent long-term negative outcomes.

“The impact on health inequalities will be seen, not just in this generation...because children’s growth and development will be damaged by their parents’ struggle”

Looking forward to workshopping today with Leeds City Council colleagues and the @nesta_uk team for A Fairer Start for children’s speech language and communication development in Leeds #SLCN #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

[Nicola Waddington @HelloLeeds]

Fingers crossed @RishiSunak stays true to his word regarding investment in Early Years. We need more investment in resourcing Speech and Language Therapist working in Early Years to complement this aspiration.

[RCSLTpolicy @RCSLTpolicy]

During the summer's @Conservatives' leadership election, speech & language therapist @pennyanneod asked @RishiSunak about #SEND & speech, language & communication.

As the next Prime Minister identified, the #EarlyYears are crucial to prevent long-term negative outcomes.

On reflection, there are diverse communication needs. It is important our approach is flexible to meet each individual’s needs
