Look out for this new symbol in shops and businesses. It means staff have been trained in how to interact with people who have difficulties communicating. RCSLT 💙 is behind the initiative, and its president Nick Hewer of Countdown and Apprentice fame, spoke to 5 News about it.

Communication is a basic human right. Do you agree? Please get your local businesses to sign up for the new (free!) Communication Access training to create a more inclusive society: bit.ly/34bwSy7 #CommunicationAccess Photo from @SkiptonBS_Press Credit: Danny Payne

Such an important message... A symbol that says 'as a business we welcome and respect people with communication difficulties and will ensure their experience is a positive one'. Congratulations RCSLT 💙 and partners. Giving Voice Nick Hewer

19 Mondays of ongoing placement in inpatient neuro-rehab DONE! Very proud of how much I’ve learnt and grown since October 🧠

Is your first language French, Spanish or German? Do you speak English to a relatively proficient level & use it in your daily life? 🗣 If so, I’m looking into how bilingual adults store & organise words and you can help!📚 (1/2)

Communication & safe eating & drinking are basic human rights. But too many people with communication & swallowing needs have not had the support they need during #COVID19 Help change that by signing Gillian Rudd's #BuildBackBetterSLT #FundSLT petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5878…

Karen is worried. Her neighbour, Chris (short for Christine), has missed a regular coffee date with a friend earlier this morning. Her house is in darkness. The curtains are still closed. Karen gets spare keys from a neighbour and together they open the door to Chris’s house.

This afternoon provided an opportunity for menu tasting with some of our Dietitians, Nutrition Nurse and catering team. We tried and discussed savoury and sweet IDDSI Level 4, 5 and 6 dishes, and even had some leftovers for the rest of the team to try! 😋🥧 #SLTlife #IDDSI
