"SMiRA, the national charity for selective mutism, a condition in which anxiety prevents some children from communicating in school, agrees with RCSLT and would also be keen to help shape any policy or planning @uklabour @rcsltpolicy
RCSLTpolicy@RCSLTpolicy6 Jul 2023
Replying to @RCSLTpolicy
We hope that any plans to develop children’s speaking & communication skills will be inclusive of those who communicate differently or who need additional support with their speech, language or communication. @RCSLT would be delighted to work with @UKLabour to help achieve this.
