WellComm Screening – 0-19 Health and Wellbeing Service – Wirral Community NHS Foundation Trust

WellComm Screening - 0-19 Health and Wellbeing Service - Wirral Community NHS Foundation Trust

Structured around the national Healthy Child Programme our services provide inclusive support for children, young people and their families. Support begins during pregnancy and continues until the child reaches the age of 19 or up to 25 if the young person has Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

 

WellComm Screening

Would you like to talk about your child's speech and language? 

The Wirral Communication and Language Pathway has been developed to ensure effective processes to support the development of children’s speech and language. We also provide details of how to find further information for you and your child.

The pathway gives you an overview of the pathway detailing your child’s possible journey from pre-birth, 0 to 1 years, 1 to 2 years and 2 to 3 years:

  • Specialist - a referral is made for an individualised programme of support
  • Targeted - a child's need identified. A time limited, tailored programme of support given. This is evidenced and monitored
  • Universal - for all children: skilled and confident staff, high quality language provision and support for parents

Children can go up as well as back down levels. The graduated approach enhances smooth transitions. The integrated approach includes education, health, early years practitioners and parents.

A 17 to 19 month checklist is available for you to quickly check if your child’s speech and language development is on track. Please contact your nearest Children’s Centre or Family Hub. Alternatively, contact your child’s early years setting.
