Early SLT changes lives. Without support, children face higher risks of mental ill health, exclusion from school, and poor life chances. Thatโs why weโre calling on the Govt to #InvestInSLT and bring forward its SLT Action Plan.

Communication is a human right. Yet too many people wait months โ even years โ for SLT support. This must change. Thatโs why weโre calling on the Govt to #InvestInSLT and bring forward its SLT Action Plan.

Itโs been 18 months since the #InvestInSLT petition was launched. Over 10,000 people joined us in two weeks. Their message was clear: access to speech and language therapy must improve. @RCSLT @PeterDJust @SKinnock @leckiegeorgia @pamslater26 @YasFirth8343 @about_speech

๐๐ป๐๐พ๐๐ฟ On another #InvestInSLT milestone, @RCSLT says a renewed thank you to all of you for making that happen. ๐ข We're now calling on @hmtreasury to use the Budget to help deliver the petition's aims, and for the Govt to work with us on its SLT Action Plan.
18 months ago today, the then Government responded to the #InvestInSLT petition. We call on the current Government to use the forthcoming Budget properly to fund SLT and to work with us on its SLT Action Plan. @leckiegeorgia @YasFirth8343 @about_speech @chris_kammy @PeterDJust

Thanks to @pamslater26 for drawing my attention to this video. We know that children don't always follow the research, but it's important as clinicians we are fully aware: https://t.co/Ghsxy3Hf12 ๐
