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. eventbrite.co.uk/e/433541242…

This very point was one @RCSLT & @ASLTIP_UK made in our joint #SENDReview policy statement on @educationgovuk's #SENDReview ▶️bit.ly/3FeMB2g
Early intervention, both in the early years and beyond, is crucial to prevent long-term negative outcomes.

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.

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.
