Universal SEND Services

This live online networking session explores the importance of speech, language and communication skills, along with the potential impact on learning for learners whose skills do not develop as expected. It provides an opportunity for delegates to network with colleagues from across the country, to share experiences and learn from others. One of our regional leads will facilitate the session and participants will be encouraged to ask questions and join in pertinent discussions.

Content will be responsive to the questions and conversations of participants but may cover the following themes:

the importance of speech, language and communication skills to learning, behaviour, social and emotional development, and mental health,
what typical speech, language and communication development looks like, and
how less well-developed speech, language and communication skills can affect learners in education settings and the wider world.

These sessions build on our online SEND CPD units. Delegates may find it helpful to access the online CPD unit: An introduction to speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) (Unit 4) prior to joining the session.

NB: Due to the interactive nature of these sessions, recordings will not be made available after the event, so book now as places are limited!
