The Bercow Report : a review of services for children and young people (0-19) with speech, language and communication needs

During the Review we identified five key themes – issues that need to be addressed for real change and improvement to happen. Our recommendations are gathered under these five themes: ●● Communication is crucial; ●● Early identification and intervention are essential; ●● A continuum of services designed around the family is needed; ●● Joint working is critical; and ●● The current system is characterised by high variability and a lack of equity.
