Question

Answer

It may take a bit of time to complete the evaluation, but you can do this at your own pace and you don’t have to do it all in one go. When you have done it, there are lots of benefits for you – and ultimately the children and young people you work with. For example, you can:

• Gain a wider awareness of the skills and knowledge needed in speech, language and communication
• Recognise and profile your existing skills and knowledge
• Plan personal professional development in this area
• Access information on relevant training and professional development opportunities and activities
• Approach managers with focused CPD requests
• Obtain direction for further independent study
• Enhance skills in working with children and young people’s speech, language and communication
