Description

This E-learning training will be available upon request to access any time.

The training is specifically designed for Childminders, to raise awareness of the use and content of the WellComm Speech and Language Toolkit.  The toolkit is designed to develop practitioners' skills and confidence in supporting children under 5 years who are at risk of developing speech, language and communication difficulties.

WellComm Toolkit 

Childminders can access a copy of the WellComm Toolkit via their local Bolton Council Library.  You will not require a copy for this e-learning course.

What will I learn?

Upon completion, you will be familiar with the content of the WellComm Toolkit and know when and how to access support for children experiencing speech, language and communications difficulties.  Participants will also gain an understanding of how to utilise the intervention resources from 'The Big Book of Ideas'.

Resources

  • Screening Tool - including 'Handbook' and 'The Little Book of Rules', enabling early identification of areas of concern within language, communication and interaction development; and
