Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) survey

Kent County Council and the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group for Kent have commissioned a project to improve outcomes for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in the area. The project is underpinned by use of the Balanced System®, an outcomes based framework and delivery model for integrated services. SLCN is the most prevalent special educational need and everyone has a role to play in supporting children and young people. Find out more here Kent: The Balanced System
