Platform 3: Level 3 Supporting Children and Young
People's Speech, Language and Communication
"I am finding it so interesting, wish I could
work my way through all the units. I have changed so
many things within my working environment, and home life that seem
to have a great impact on all the children. Just simple
things such as giving children less questions and more thinking
time, labels on boxes and focusing on SLC more with my
activities"

No Pens Day Wednesday
"The buzz around the school is palpable. The children
genuinely look forward to a day in which they know that writing is
banned and clues are scattered throughout the school, however we
have found that the day has often resulted in the most fabulous
writing in the following week as the children have gained so much
from their day."

Implementing the SEND reforms- Joint commissioning
for children and young people with speech, language and
communication needs- a report from The Communication Council
"This excellent resource from the Communication Council on
joint commissioning gives commissioners and providers alike the
information they need to make the most effective use of resources
to deliver better outcomes for children and young people with
speech, language and communication needs and their families and we
commend it to you."
Dr. Dan Poulter, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for
Health and Edward Timpson, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of
State for Children and Families
Policy work
"Being part of a bigger network give us the ear of policy
makers in a way that would be very hard for a tiny organisation
like ours. Keeping us up to date with developing policy and
legislation has enabled our own organisational input to be better
informed."
Consortium member
Communication Commitment
"The establishment of an interactive website enables
schools to easily access toolkits, resources and even a
personalised action plan to develop an individualised approach to
meet the needs of their pupils. This is particularly timely, as it
helps our members to prepare and to implement the SEND Reforms that
became effective from 1 September 2014. Their 'commitment' provides
essential practical support to improve pupil attainment and
outcomes, in line with the Ofsted
Framework."
