Congratulations to everyone receiving A-Level & BTEC results today! Going off to uni or further education can be daunting, especially if you #stammer. Have a look at our website for a guide, support forms and templates for HE/FE students who stammer. stamma.org/get-support/in-ed…

A highly dysfunctional team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as not part of the team. A BRILLIANT team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as part of the team. This shift in mindset is everything for leadership and culture.

We warmly welcome news that an inquiry has been opened by @CommonsHealth into men’s health. It’s vital that mental health remains just as central to this inquiry as physical health. Please do engage and provide evidence if possible! We look forward to engaging with the inquiry.

Fluency is not the same as confident communication skills. Let's not conflate the two. Using fluency as an assessment criteria is not a measure of competence and risks disadvantaging the 8% of children who stammer. @stammer

Check out this amazing video from @RNID! They nailed it by using user-generated content. Plus we love their message of putting the audience at the heart of all communications.
Tomorrow is the start of #DeafAwarenessWeek and this is your reminder that everyone has different communication needs. Some of them include: 💚 Be patient if I don't understand 💚 Get my attention first 💚 Speak clearly, not louder Learn more here: bit.ly/42AdgQn
