Background
Greater Manchester Combined Authority together with Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership have commissioned Better Communication CIC to undertake an analysis of the speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) of the children and young people (0-25 years) of Greater Manchester using The Balanced System® framework.
To complete the needs analysis, associates of Better Communication CIC are seeking to engage and consult with a wide range of stakeholders across the Greater Manchester system including therapy services; local authority teams; schools and settings; third sector organisations; parents and carers; and children and young people.
Consultation will be carried out in a variety of ways including meetings, focus groups and surveys. The purpose is to understand the Greater Manchester system and specifically:
- Who is supporting outcomes for speech, language, and communication
- What is currently working well
- Challenges within the system
- Aspirations to best support children and young people
How can you help?
As part of this process, a Bolton Early Years Focus Group will take place on the 15th March from 9:30am - 11:00am.
This will provide Early Years Leaders and Managers the opportunity to work alongside Better Communication CIC to help understand the strengths and challenges in supporting children with SLCN in Bolton.
Bolton Start Well encourage early years provider engagement and ask Early Years Leaders and Managers to book a place via Eventbrite: The Balanced System® in Greater Manchester : Bolton Early Years Focus Group Tickets, Wed 15 Mar 2023 at 09:30 | Eventbrite
