Last month, members of our team had the opportunity to travel to Peterborough to deliver training to the speech-language team at Five Counties Children's Centre.
As part of the Innovation Fund Grant and ongoing Preschool Speech and Language (PSL) training initiatives, this session focused on strengthening skills, sharing knowledge, and supporting high-quality care for children and families across the region.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with dedicated partners who are committed to advancing care and improving outcomes for children.
