This is an open request to anyone working in social work or in university social work departments. Which month or months do you receive the most demand for children to be admitted into the care system? And one more question. Which is the most demanding month in terms of workload?

Early SLT changes lives. Without support, children face higher risks of mental ill health, exclusion from school, and poor life chances. Thatβs why weβre calling on the Govt to #InvestInSLT and bring forward its SLT Action Plan.

ALT This image is a research recruitment poster inviting people to take part in a project titled 'Waiting and Access in Therapy: Understanding Perspectives in Speech and language therapy (WAIT-UP SLT). It relates to Phase 1: Recruitment of Advisory Groups. The text reads: Would you like to be involved in an advisory group to support new research into waiting and access within children's speech and language therapy services? WAIT-UP SLT aims to explore perspectives and experiences of waiting within children's speech and language therapy services in England. This will be a multi-phase project, looking separately at the views of SLT teams, parents and caregivers, and children and young people. You can express an interest if you a) are a parent or caregiver for a child or young person who has accessed children's SLT services in England in the last 3 years b) work within a SLT service in England as a service lead, SLT, SLTA, admin/clerical assistant or other associated role.'

Last month @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting celebrated treatment waiting lists dropping to a 26-month low. But is their "bold package of reforms" working for children and young people with communication and swallowing needs? #WaitUpSLT waitupslt.blogspot.com/2025/β¦
