Contact your Scottish Parliament election candidates to support RCSLT Scotland’s call for speech and language therapists in schools

Use your voice to make a real difference for children with communication needs in Scotland.

RCSLT Scotland is asking the next Scottish Government to embed speech and language therapists in every school and nursery. When children with speech, language and communication needs do not have the right support, they are significantly more likely to experience underachievement, mental health challenges and behavioural issues. Including speech and language therapists in education-based teams rather than clinics allows us to support children earlier, prevent harm and build relationships that help us address complex challenges as a team. Powerful evidence from Forth Valley where this has already been implemented shows a significant improvement in outcomes for children when this vital service is brought into schools.
