The Balanced System
We wanted to tell about an exciting new accreditation that we have been successful in securing for our own pre-school following our application in June this year. Only 20 schools and early year settings have been chosen to do the accreditation out of the whole of Kent. It will be completely funded and if we are successful in completing it by December 2023, will provide the pre-school with a national accreditation for meeting the needs of children with a range of needs including, speech, language and communication.
The balanced system, it is a collaboration between NAPLIC - A national organisation of teachers, speech and language therapists and other professionals and Better Communication CIC, and supported by the charity Afasic (Afasic supports and provides information for families with children and young adults who have Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
The project will help us to understand our role to support Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and achieve good outcomes for children with SLCN and their families. Carol and Nicola will be leading the programme as advocates.
​
The project will involve the whole staff team.
