The annual ‘time to talk’ chatter matters™ week is fast approaching (2nd – 6th March) and this year our theme is ‘chatter matters everywhere’. We celebrate children’s communication skills every year during chatter matters week by organising events and raising awareness across the community.

What could you do in your community to celebrate children’s communication in everyday places and to raise awareness of strategies that support them? Here are a few ideas…
An early Christmas present – our new training brochure is now available. 2015 – T2T Spring Term
Dates are available for Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 training, our brand new ‘chatter matters for nurseries’ and our all-important Cluster Meetings. Please do come along to your local Cluster Meeting to catch up on CPD and to hear all about what’s happening in ‘time to talk’. These really are a great way to keep in touch with all things ‘time to talk’, share ideas and pick up some tips and resources. Some of the dates are quite soon in the new year so please don’t delay.
That means it must be time to join us for a cluster meeting! It’s not too late but you’ll have to be quick as they start next week. We are looking at another section of the WellComm, using video to reflect on practice, data findings from last year and we’ll be distributing our new dummy leaflets. And there’ll be the opportunity to see the ‘time to talk’ blanket!
