If you are a practitioner working within an early years setting, you can use the information and resources in our pathway for early years practitioners
For any other practitioner working alongside a family, please use the pathway for parents and carers
If you are a practioner supporting children and families, Speech and Language UK are providing FREE workshops:

Learn about the importance of speech, language and communication for learning and life, typical development in the early years, and how to support parents with key messages and quality interactions.
Speech and language challenges in the early years: identifying needs and supporting children and their families
Including how to spot speech and language challenges, useful identification tools and resources, how to help, and supporting parents with talking strategies at home.
Supporting and understanding the needs of children with complex speech and language challenges

All three workshops run twice a month, every month (except August), throughout 2024.
Let's get Talking Bradford!
We want all our district’s children to have the best start in life possible.
We want to ensure that every child aged 0-5 in the Bradford district with speech, language and communication (SLC) needs is supported at the right time, in the right place, by the right people.

Working in partnership for the Bradford district
The Talking Bradford guide and campaign has been developed by a task and finish group using insight from co-production and engagement activities with parents and carers in the Bradford district and the Family Hubs and Start for Life programme
The group includes colleagues in speech and language therapy, early years and communications teams at Bradford Council, Bradford NHS providers, Better Start Bradford, and FYI Bradford Children and Young People’s Information Service along with the design expertise of PPL: People Places Lives.
With thanks to all involved.
We Act as One to keep people healthy and happy, at home
