The Children's Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) services aim to help your child to communicate to the best of their ability. The East Cheshire Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) service supports children and young people 0–16 years old, who have speech, language and communication difficulties and/ or feeding and swallowing difficulties. In order to access the service, clients must have a GP within the geographical area covered by East Cheshire NHS Trust. Speech, language and communication needs might include problems with making speech sounds, understanding and using language, stammering, voice (persistent hoarseness), social interaction skills, feeding and swallowing difficulties. The Speech and Language Therapist will assess the child/ young person's strengths and needs. The therapist will sometimes use a formal standardised assessment but may also use informal assessments i.e. observation to inform the decision making on the best way to support and develop the child/ young person’s communications skills. They will then provide advice, intervention and training if this is seen to be appropriate. The Speech and Language Therapist will work closely with parents/ carers’; discussing the child’s needs and provide coaching on ways in which to practise activities at home with their child. The Speech and Language Therapist will work collaboratively with other professions; teachers, support assistants, nursery staff or others who the child has regular contact or support from. The Speech and Language Therapist will discuss the child/ young person’s needs to help others understand the nature of the difficulties and provide them with ideas and strategies to help promote and maximise his/ her communication skills.

We are an independent, non-denominational charity providing holistic values-related education programmes for teachers and schools. With over 25 years of experience, we share our knowledge and experience so as to promote better outcomes for young citizens, both academically and as empowered, happy, healthy individuals who feel capable of fulfilling their true potential, whatever their starting points in life. Not only have we been supplying practical, personal development and wellbeing programmes for a generation of learners aged from 4 to 14 but we also provide training in Values Education, an element in the school curriculum that is becoming increasingly significant as the topic of values becomes ever more mainstream and as the understanding of how values affect and impact people’s thinking, decision-making, actions and wellbeing grows. The intense focus on academic outcomes during the past two decades has been at the expense of many children’s mental health and wellbeing, and this has brought into focus the urgent need for a shift in education practices towards rounded, whole-child development. This approach has always been central to our work. There are few opportunities for teachers during their initial teacher training and continuing professional development to learn about the role of values in our day-to-day lives and to appreciate how they can be proactively used to nurture and empower individuals to progressively gain character strengths, social and emotional skills and personal qualities that are essential for their happiness, health and capacity to maximise their talents and abilities. This is the gap we fill.

I have always been fascinated by the answer to a single question: “How can I get the best performance from myself and others?” Even at a young age, it seemed obvious to me that it would be better to be positive rather than negative, which means: Goal focused rather than drifting Productive rather than busy Rational rather than erratic Organised rather than chaotic Confident rather than timid Optimistic rather than pessimistic Inspirational rather than cynical So, at the tender age of 17, I started my study on how one may become more goal focused, productive, rational, organised, confident, optimistic and inspirational. I read a lot, I experimented a lot, I observed others and I tested ideas to see which worked and which did not. I have been studying these topics for forty years. When I was 37, I started my company The Corporate Coach. I wrote unique training programmes based on the ideas and methods I had assembled. I framed my programmes into a system that was, and is still, designed to answer the same fundamental question: “How can YOU get the best performance from YOURSELF and OTHERS?” The Corporate Coach Group is based on three fundamental principles, of: Clarity Rationality Positivity These three fundamental principles form the bedrock of the program and each principle contains many subset principles, which we all should investigate, understand and apply in practice. Clarity; in regard to our goals, thinking and communication Rationality; in regard to planning, decision making, prioritisation and in handling conflict Positivity; in regard to our feelings (emotions) and in our personal relationships
