NHS Speech and Language Focus Group

Do you have experience of the Children’s Speech and Language Therapy (NHS) Service? 

The Children’s Speech and Language Therapy (NHS) Service are working to improve the speech and language support that’s offered to children aged 0-5 in Leeds, and would like to talk to parents about their experiences.

If you are on the Children’s Speech and Language Therapy waiting list, or have been in the past, they would like to speak to you. You could join a focus group with other parents, or have a one-to-one conversation with us.

They are offering Asda or Morrisons vouchers as a thank you for your time. 

The focus group will take place in Leeds City centre on 5th July, and they are looking to arrange the one-to-one conversations in person or over the phone around that time too.

These conversations are being arranged by Nesta - the UK’s social innovation agency - who are working with the Children's Speech and Language Therapy Service, Leeds’ Library Services and Leeds Council to see if they can find new ways to work together to improve support for children and parents.

If you’re interested in joining us for a conversation to share your views please complete this google form.
