The training aims to make practitioners communicationfriendly

Even before Covid-19 impacted, around 10 per cent of children had long-term needs in speech, language and communication skills. This means that all staff – whether in group settings or in childminder provision – need to have increased knowledge, skills and confidence to support all children's development in this vital area.

Elklan Training delivers two programmes which it says not only provide key knowledge to practitioners but also ensure their learning results in changes to their practice and environment, so they are truly communication-friendly.

Communication Friendly Setting (CFS) programme

This provides in-depth training to two practitioners per setting (one if the total staffing is less than ten). These staff gain accreditation at Levels 3 and 4 through an Ofqual-approved and regulated awarding organisation and become a resource, Lead Communication Practitioners (LCPs), for their settings.
