NICE has recently stated: ‘Improved speech, language and communication may also increase participation in education and employment offering broader social and economic benefits.’ We agree. That’s why we’re calling on the Govt to #InvestInSLT and publish its SLT Action Plan.

The issues affecting the SLT workforce have not happened by chance. They are the result of years of failed workforce planning and under-resourcing of services. So, the need to #InvestInSLT is critical as is the Govt's SLT Action Plan.

The Govt recognises the difference speech and language therapy makes to children and young people. To make that a reality for every child and young person, the Govt must #InvestInSLT and bring forward its SLT Action Plan.

My son just sat with me for an entire story book reading for the first time ever! It might sound minor but for a child with #SEND #Autism to sit for that long is huge! He even copied some of the words after hearing me read them 🥹 #SLTchat #InvestInSLT #SpeechAndLanguage

Almost 50 organisations supported the #InvestInSLT petition debate briefing. We urge the Govt to listen to that unified voice and use the Budget to #InvestlnSLT and publish its SLT Action Plan.

Early SLT changes lives. That's true for adults too, including stroke survivors, people with Parkinson's, dementia, or Long COVID. That's why we need the Govt to #InvestInSLT and bring forward its SLT Action Plan.
