@SLT_Francesca This is shocking. What are they writing instead? Is @The_HCPC aware of this?

[The Orchid Practice @OrchidSLT]

This is so important!!

A write up in Parliament News about the speech and language debate last Monday. #InvestInSLT

“Speech therapy is a bridge between isolation and inclusion - It must be properly supported as we repair our NHS.”

@SpeechAndLangUK @EduPolicyInst We stand with you. Children have been waiting too long for the right support. Let’s get this moving. ✊🏼

@dharford79 This is fantastic!!!

[The Orchid Practice @OrchidSLT]

@RCSLT The lack of a comments section does not help to gather further information on private sector therapy practices. Almost all of the questions are entirely focused on the NHS only. Re: waitlist changing criteria to “not accepting referrals for under 3s” is unethical NOT a solution.

Check out our blog post where Anna interviews Beth, our #DLD specialist.

Have a listen to some of our amazing students speaking up for DLD (Developmental Language Disorder). They talk about how important it is that everyone knows about DLD. They also demonstrate how hidden it can be.

Please share widely

@RCSLT Is the focus on developing the workforce going to involve increased collaboration with education? As the focus on speaking and listening is becoming a priority to them. I’m tired of SLT for children being seen as “health” only when we have a huge responsibility in education.

[The Orchid Practice @OrchidSLT]

@SLT_Francesca Only when working in the NHS. 😞

[The Orchid Practice @OrchidSLT]

@tes The crisis was already there. Lockdown exacerbated the issue of access and exposed the precarious situation services were in.

[The Orchid Practice @OrchidSLT]

It’s good to see that @RCSLT have responded to this statement. Thanks to @_ASLTIP for taking a stand for #slpeeps #ehcp

[RCSLT 💙 @RCSLT]

Read our response to @_ASLTIP's statement calling for equal recognition of independent speech and language therapy reports in EHCPs in England 👇👇
