Supporting speech and language needs within Inclusive Mainstream Funding
As Inclusive Mainstream Funding is introduced, schools are being asked to strengthen how they identify needs early, provide targeted support, and demonstrate impact.
Speech, language and communication needs are among the most common in schools but are often not identified consistently. This can make it harder to plan provision and evidence outcomes clearly.
A simple, whole school approach
Speech Link & Language Link support schools to:
- Identify needs early through structured screening
- Deliver targeted, evidence-led interventions
- Track progress and demonstrate impact
This helps build a consistent approach to SLCN that aligns with IMF expectations.
