Are you a parent or carer of a child under 6?
Have you ever taken your child to a Speech and Language Therapy appointment (or had a telephone or video appointment?)
I am looking for parents/carers to take part in a research study: ‘The experiences of primary carers, living with financial and social disadvantage, of Speech and Language Therapy services for children in their early years’
By telling me what Speech and Language Therapy was like for you and your child, you could help to make services better for other families.
We are offering a £20 supermarket voucher to all parents and carers who take part
To find out more about the study, please contact Ms Aydan Suphi on
Email: ay*********@********ac.uk or

Our young people are age 11 to 18 who live, study and work in Hall Green locality, which includes Sparkbrook, Sparkhill, Moseley, Kings Heath, Balsall Heath and Hall Green. We work in subgroups, which enable us to make the most of our time, resources and skills.
We are looking for schools and colleges to collaborate with. Ideally this will be within your school curriculum as part of, not limited to, art, ICT or design.
The aim is for your learners to produce something that can be exhibited or interacted with, hopefully in the public, to showcase their work and achievements. We want young people to set the agenda, hence why we haven’t outlined what will be created.
We will work together to map out the right questions for your young people, as everyone as different needs.
We would love for this exhibition to highlight the voice of young people and their Covid experiences in 2020.
We are also looking for venues within Hall Green to exhibit the final work.
If your school would like to be involved, or if you are interested in showcasing the project, please contact Project Manager Si************@*************rg.uk.
