Trainers wanted - Speech and language specialists and dyslexia specialists
The Communication Trust is looking to recruit trainers to deliver 'communication needs and screening tool training' at Youth Offending Team (YOT) sites across the country. This follows the successful piloting of training sessions at four YOT teams and the successful piloting of 'training the trainer' (TT) at a further YOT site. Our intention is to now make the training available across the YOT network (around 66 sites initially).
