The Balanced System® Speech Language and Communication (SLC) Pathway helps staff and families access the right support at the right time. It includes information and advice to engage parents and wider family members as children’s first communication partners and also local and national information and advice on SLC concerns or needs.

Children and young people’s right to express their views and have those views taken into account lies at the heart of our Leicester approach to SLC support.
