‘Place support for speaking and understanding at the heart of Spending Review’

3 mins read Guest Blog
We learnt at the weekend that Wednesday’s Spending Review will include significant early years investment and that new Family Hubs are to be rolled out to provide more integrated support for families.

Whilst we welcome this new investment, we are keen to look at the detail of how these hubs would work in practice and in particular, we want to ensure that when rolling out these new hubs, the right help is put in place to support babies and young children to meet their developmental milestones in relation to speaking and understanding language.

At I CAN, we believe that speaking and understanding language must play a central role in new initiatives aimed at supporting the early years and beyond. From helping parents to understand how important talking and understanding language are and their role in helping babies, children and young people develop these skills; to training early years and educational professionals so they have the right skills to support children in this area; to ensuring professionals are helped to track progress so that children who need support with their speech, language and communication can get help early.
