The training, ‘Strategies to support children with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) at nursery’, has been developed by community interest company Twinkleboost and will be delivered by Caspian Jamie, a speech and language therapist.
The one-off hour-long session will take place on 24 April at Manchester Metropolitan University, and is open to 150 nursery staff.
It is in response to findings from a Communication Trust workforce survey last month that found a lack of initial training in supporting SLCN.
The training session will cover ‘simple’ strategies and games nursery staff can use to support the children they care for.
All nurseries in the Greater Manchester area are invited, with up to four staff from each nursery welcome. Places will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.
