We have created a graduated approach for professionals supporting early years (0-5 year olds) children in Cheshire West and Chester.

Whether you're part of the Starting Well Team, school based, a nursery or other early years care setting, this document shows the 3 stages of support: 

Stage 1: General support to help a child to develop their speech, language and communication

Stage 2: Signposting for parents/carers, implement targeted interventions 

Stage 3: Consider a referral to specialists

We offer free online training courses throughout the school year on difference aspects of children's communication that will also help you.
