The Regional Skills Strategy

Through system change, we will build a region where a higher proportion of children achieve at least expected levels in the communication, language & literacy goals by 2028, by working in partnership to identify and confront development gaps at the earliest opportunity and deploy evidence-based interventions through a highly skilled workforce. Delivered through a robust regional early years SLCN strategy, we will make an impact on children and families, especially those most in need of support.
