📢 'Good work and good communication go hand in hand.' 🚨 The RCSLT responds to the Govt's Health and Growth Accelerators announcement. 🗣️ It is essential that people with communication, cognitive, and voice needs can access speech and language therapy so they can stay in and return to work.

Quote from Steve Jamieson, the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, about the UK Government's Health and Growth Accelerators announcement in February 2026:

"We welcome the UK Government’s £25m investment in Health and Growth Accelerators to better link health and work support. If the NHS is to be accountable for employment outcomes, we must involve the right professionals. Speech and language therapists play a vital role in supporting people with communication, cognitive, and voice needs to stay in and return to work. Enabling support from and access to speech and language therapists to advise on workplace support is critical to ensuring people get tailored, expert support to meet their communication needs. Good work and good communication go hand in hand.”

🚨 Today, the Department for Education's long-awaited Schools White Paper will be published. 📢 Here's the RCSLT's initial response to news of a proposed 'experts at hand' service for schools, to include speech and language therapists. 👀 Keep checking back for more updates. 🧵 1/

Quote from Steve Jamieson, the RCSLT's Chief Executive:

'We welcome the UK Government’s planned £1.8bn investment in an “experts at hand” service, to bring more specialist professionals such as speech and language therapists into schools. This funding could help to unlock earlier support for children with speech, language and communication needs. But key questions remain about how the new service will work in practice, especially given existing workforce pressures in speech and language therapy. We’ll be scrutinising the Schools White Paper closely to see how these challenges are addressed, and how they fit within the wider package of reforms.'

📰 RCSLT responds to the UK Govt's plan to make schools more inclusive by design. ✅ We welcome the ambition. ❌ Physical spaces alone are not enough. 🚨 Schools need access to more speech and language therapists, working across the whole school. 🔽 See our full response below.

Quote from Derek Munn, Director of Policy and Public Affairs, RCSLT.

“We welcome the UK Government’s ambition to make schools more inclusive by design, and inclusion bases in secondary schools can play an important role. However, physical spaces alone are not enough. Schools need access to more speech and language therapists – working not only within inclusion bases, but across the whole school.

“To make this a reality, the Government’s workforce plan must ensure there are enough speech and language therapists, with the skills and experience to support inclusive practice in schools. This must be matched with sustainable funding so services can provide early intervention, provide preventative support, and address the workload pressures which are having such a negative impact on staff wellbeing and retention.

“We urge the Government to address these critical issues in the forthcoming Schools White Paper.”
