<p>Public Health England (PHE) is working in partnership with the Department for Education
to produce evidence-based resources and tools to support health visitors, early years
practitioners and parents/carers in identifying and supporting children’s early speech,
language and communication (SLC) needs through training guidance and an enhanced early
language assessment tool. The assessment tool will incorporate parent resources to
support family understanding of SLC in their children and will be rolled out from
April 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside this work, PHE is developing a model SLC pathway
for children under five. This will ensure that professionals working with families
are able to help them support their child’s SLC and how to access support if needed.
The pathway will be published by September 2019.</p>
