Training & Development

Speech, Language and Communication are foundation life skills which enable children to make friends, learn and thrive. Yet often, the people who support children and young people feel under-informed and under-confident in supporting communication skills.

Communicate’s bespoke and accredited training programmes promote good practice in the environment where the young people live and learn.

“It is important to be able to identify the diverse needs of children and young people with SLCN and to provide appropriate support for them to interact socially, to participate fully in education and to lead safe, healthy lives.”

(Bercow Report, 2008)

“Helping children develop communication skills is one of the most important things you can do. That’s because the ability to communicate underpins just about every aspect of a child’s development.”

(Why Chatter Matters)

In a YouGov poll, undertaken by The Communication Trust, of 349 teachers found that only 27% had received training around Speech, Language and Communication and 81% felt they would benefit from more training on this issue.

Communicate is experienced in providing a range of Speech, Language and Communication focussed training, accreditations and in-setting support. Our sessions have traditionally been face-to-face, although we have recently begun offering online workshops using Zoom, which have been highly successful.
