This is such a worthwhile, informative and well supported SLCN course. I would
thoroughly recommend it.
— Teacher, Secondary School

Research suggests that in some areas 50% of children start school with a speech, language and communication need (SLCN) and that approximately 10% go on to have a long-term SLCN. A focus on ‘talk in the classroom’ therefore can have a profound impact on children and young people’s learning and social interaction. (Communication Trust 2019).

The Level 4 Award in Supporting Children and Young People with SLCN is designed to give participants confidence in how to deliver effective support for children and young people with SLCN.

On successful completion, participants will gain a Level 4 Award in Supporting children and young people with SLCN and 6 Level 4 credits from Gateway Qualifications.

It is suitable for professionals working in a teaching or support role in a school or setting and is open to those in all phases of education: early years, primary, secondary or post-16.
