Childhood and Education
Our Advanced Practice in Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) programme has been designed specifically for practitioners supporting children and young people with SLCN in educational settings and third-sector organisations. The practice-based learning aims to deliver high-impact change in meeting the needs of the education and applied sector workforce working with children, young people, and families who have additional needs in speech, language, and communication needs. This programme is highly innovative and allows you to gain credit for work-based learning. This allows professionals who work full-time, in settings such as schools or NHS Speech and Language Therapy Assistants, working in settings in the community, to access a vocational, work-related and practice-based course. This unique course focuses on developing your practice in a setting to meet the often-complex needs of children who have barriers to their speech, language and communication which stops them from making progress educationally, socially and emotionally. This course does NOT qualify you to practice as a Speech and Language Therapist. For more information about this, see the — College of — website. This would be useful for those wanting to progress in the SEND workforce in nurseries, schools, and colleges. For example, SENCo’s, SEN leads, aspirant SENCo’s, early years leads, key stage leads in primary schools, school leadership, Higher Level Teaching Assistants and teaching assistants and staff working in Alternative Provision or local authority educational services. Those wanting to develop a career in Speech and Language Therapy as aspirant therapists, or assistants would also find this course very useful in supporting their career progression. Why study with us? Personalise your continued professional development in education via this 60-credit award while working full-time and gain credit for work-based practice. Develop highly desirable skills to develop your current work-based provision. Become highly employable in the education sector due to having highly sought skills, knowledge and understanding at the forefront of our sector linked to current sector needs.
