Spoken language and communication is central to children and young people’s attainment and life chances.
The next government must ensure that the impact of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis on children and young people's education is addressed through supporting good spoken language and communication skills for all. We urge all three major UK parties to seize this opportunity, so all children and young people are able to achieve their potential, both in school and life.
That is why we are joining over 50 organisations in urging Rishi Sunak, Sir Keir Starmer, and Sir Ed Davey - #LetsTalkCommunication.
