Family Hubs Early Language and Communication Support Team
Across our borough, we’re placing a strong focus on supporting speech, language and communication development for children in the early years. These foundational skills are important for helping children express themselves, build relationships, and succeed in learning and life.
We know that the early years are a critical time for language development, and that children thrive when families, early years settings, and communities work together to support communication.
To help parents and carers stay informed and empowered, we’ve launched a dedicated newsletter packed with:
- Speech, language and communication tips
- Local events and activities
- Guidance and resources for families
- Updates from professionals working in early years
This parent-focused newsletter is designed to be practical, engaging, and supportive—because when families are informed, children flourish.
