Communication Champions

We are now Communication Champions for our area.  We are promoting the improvement of speech, language and communicating skills.

Dani is our trained Communications Champion, and has passed on her skills to the rest of the staff.

We use Welcomm as an early assessment tool and we use this to assess the children on a regular basis.

We also hold Communication Cafes throughout the year, where parents/carers can come along and learn strategies to help their children. 

What The Communication Champion does: 

"A Communication Champion is the link practitioner for colleagues within the setting with regards to speech, language and communication.  I am passionate about the  importance of children's communication and language, I recognise how communication is a fundamental lifelong skill for learning.

In my role, I ensure parents/carers are aware of any local support or information, I support colleagues in their knowledge and give relevant information.

As Communication Champion, I develop activities and strategies to enhance children's communication and language in the setting.  I also give information on children with speech and language difficulties and refer them to SALT (speech and language therapy)."
