We're delighted to be supporting the Department for Education's expanded Early Years Stronger Practice Hub programme!
We'll be providing training to 36 Early Language Leads across England to help make sure evidence-based early language support reaches more early years settings and more children.🌟

It's great to see speech and language therapy recognised, which will help the two million children struggling to talk and understand words get the support they deserve!
