Aim: This webinar will provide you with expert guidance on identifying and supporting speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in secondary settings. Effective and timely support can help to promote pupils’ overall learning and development and close the attainment gap.

Rationale: SLCN are the most commonly identified special educational needs according to national statistics, and several studies suggest that restrictions necessitated by the pandemic have, in many cases, severely impacted young people’s communication skills. Secondary settings can play a vital role in identifying SLCN and providing the right kind of support to enhance outcomes both in school and in later life.
