Children's language charity faces uncertain future

The Communication Trust has confirmed that the Department for Education is not renewing its contract after March.

The Trust said that it had been informed just before Christmas by the Department that it did not intend to renew the specialist speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) contract which funds its programme of work.

Director of The Communication Trust (TCT) Octavia Holland said that this was ‘both a shock and a disappointment’. She said that the Trust was working on how to continue its core service after March.

The Trust was set up in 2007 by Afasic, BT, Council for Disabled Children and I CAN, and is a coalition of over 50 not-for-profit organisations dedicated to supporting the children’s workforce in improving children’s speech, language and communication, and acting as a hub for communications and SEN expertise.
