In Warwickshire, we have developed a Speech, Language and Communication Pathway for children who are 0-5, and their families. Our aim is to enable those who work with our youngest children and their families to be confident in signposting families to the wide range of services and tools available in Warwickshire to support children’s communication development.
This pathway is based on a shared vision of working with Warwickshire children and their families. We hope professionals can use the Pathway with families as they support every child’s Speech, Language and Communication development. Please do share the Pathway with your teams so that everyone knows what’s on offer in Warwickshire.
The SLC Pathway for Early Years is available for professionals to reference. The digital flowchart is available to use online:
The poster is available to download and display by clicking on the image below. Download and print as large-scale as possible to be able to explore all the options!
If you would like to have the most up to date PowerPoint version on the pathway (to use on laptops), please email us to request this: timetotalk@swft.nhs.uk
Virtual Briefings:
In January 2026 we launched the interactive flowchart. The briefing session has been recorded and you can watch this here to find out more about this tool:
The original pathway was launched in May 2024 and the Launch Party was recorded. Watch this to find out more about the development of the Pathway and how to use the poster.
We’d love to hear any feedback you have about using or sharing the pathway, so please do share your thoughts. You can email us at timetotalk@swft.nhs.uk
