Inspired by our free magazine for schools our speech and language day, The Link Live, is free for Link Community members to attend. The online, one-day speech and language conference covers best practice and research relevant to your work supporting pupils with SLCN.
The Link Live is for SENCos, teachers, classroom support staff and everyone interested in learning more about effective speech and language strategies for primary and secondary settings. Kate Freeman, consultant – speech and language in education, will once again host the event and facilate the live Q&A sessions with our speakers.
We are very excited about our programme for this year – the provisional schedule is now available!
