‘Getting in early’ report – social toolkit
About Speech and Language UK
For at least 1.9 million children in the UK, learning to talk and understand words feels like an impossible hurdle. We work to give every child the skills they need to face the future with confidence. We design innovative tools and training for thousands of nursery assistants and teachers to use in their classrooms. We give families the confidence and skills to help their children. And we put pressure on politicians to prioritise help for speech and language challenges.
Our new ‘Getting in early: Speech and language interventions that transform young lives’ report
The Government has already stated its intention to support children with speech and language challenges with a clear commitment in the Labour Party manifesto to fund early-language interventions in schools. The question is how should this policy be delivered in future years to maximise its impact on children and improve social justice?
An intervention to support children with speech and language challenges offers a tangible opportunity to transform children’s lives, but how this policy is delivered will be critical to the impact it will have. Our new ‘Getting in early’ report sets out key factors that must be considered in the delivery of this policy. “
