DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that one in ten children in the U.K (approximately one million) have a speech or language difficulty?
In Stoke on Trent the figure is much higher than this - evidence from Sure Start local programmes suggests that more than half of the children in Stoke on Trent are at risk of a language or speech delay. This will impact significantly on the child's ability to learn and on future opportunities in life.
