“I feel I have been heard – our needs have been met”

forward to it. The session was really enjoyable”
“This approach to therapy, using play and building structures
and skills to enable me to work with C at home has had
remarkable results”

What we are saying…
‘I feel that I am seeing the kids that need to be seen’
‘It has been really positive to take a step back from the
day to day business and really examine what we do
and why we do it’
‘We are really listening to what our stakeholders want and
can actually make real change to try to accommodate
that’
‘I think the involvement of team members in the change
process has been vital. I’m really glad to have been
involved and proud of what we’re doing’
Our Vision
‘to deliver a speech and language therapy service that benefits
and supports children and young people in their everyday
communication and helps them to reach their potential and
achieve their goals in life’
