Back to school! Please encourage your parents & friends who are teachers to download our new FREE resource Buddy Chat aimed at making children kind, caring communicators! Buddy Chat | RCSLT @rcslt @Nick_Hewer @SueMcB4 @RuthSedgewick

With children and young people back at school it's important to remember that some of them will have speech, language, and communication needs. To reduce the impact of these difficulties, it's crucial they're able to access speech and language therapy @Nick_Hewer @RCSLTResearch

Buddy Chat was co-designed from the start! We sought feedback & importantly asked those living with SLCN for their thoughts! Pete Bradley, Fireman & founder of @BelfastSupport is certain that Buddy Chat will make a difference in schools! 🥳 @RCSLT bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Delighted to be a small part of the launch! Dysphagia can impact on safe & enjoyable eating & drinking when out socialising. The @publichealthni in partnership with people with lived experience & @HospUlster have put together helpful resources to help. @JonnieMcC @AlisonFerris3

Very disappointing to hear that the no. of training places for SLT is to remain at just 28. Given workforce shortages, growing waiting lists and increased need, we had hoped for a small investment in trainee SLTs for potentially lifelong returns @ahpfni @RobinSwann_MLA @RCSLT

The Health Minister has announced that health service and education training places will be maintained at the same level as 2023/24. ➡️ Read more here: health-ni.gov.uk/news/minister-…
