Do you work with children and families aged 0–5 in Bradford?

Do you want to feel more confident supporting early language & communication?

We’re inviting staff from across Bradford's Children & Families workforce to join a training session focused on early speech, language, and communication.

These sessions are designed to:

• Support your learning and confidence

• Share good practice across the district

Who is it for?

Anyone who works directly or indirectly with children and families in the Early Years, including:

• Family Hubs

• Early Years settings

• Health and community services

• Voluntary and community organisations

• Libraries, museums, and wider children’s workforce

Why Attend?

• Build confidence in supporting early language and communication

• Connect with colleagues and share ideas

Early language and communication is a key priority for improving outcomes for children and families. These training sessions are delivered by the Talking Bradford lead, along with a qualified speech and language therapist, which makes the training a great opportunity to ask questions and expand your knowledge and confidence.

Please note that you must book in advance to secure your place on the training. We are unable to accept walk-ins due to room capacity.
