Inclusion Team Play, Chat, Interact! - Face-to-face

Tuesday 10th March 2026, 9.30am to 12.30pm - Face-to-Face - Totton area

Will your Early Years setting be welcoming younger children in with the new childcare offer? Early intervention and supporting children’s attention and language at the earliest opportunity is key. We can help boost your knowledge of how to support the youngest children in your environment.

Play, Chat & Interact focusses on the impact of Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) moving from early childhood, and into education.  

This course focusses on how this can be implemented through high quality adult-child interaction, working effectively with parents, and developing attention and vocabulary.

It supports practitioners to understand how communication develops and how to monitor this development, this course will also give ideas around practical strategies practitioners can use to support the progression of these key skills. Where a child is identified as having a SCLN, this training looks at the referral process for additional support from outside agencies. 

Practitioners attending this training will be asked to complete a pre-course eLearning, which will provide them with some background knowledge to better support their understanding through this training.
