We are sorry but due to the impact and the pressures presented by COVID-19 (coronavirus) and because we want to protect all our health and safety, we have made some important decisions about TALK Derby. All face-to-face activity (including training, events, meetings) have been paused - this is until further notice. We will continue with all online webinars and e-learning activity, and will do what we can to offer you choices during this period should you still want to get involved. We also aim to still be available on the ‘phone and email – so do get in touch if you need us. Thank you and stay safe.
TALK Derby is a Government-funded project to help local children develop the speech, language and communication skills they need to succeed in life.
Whether as parents, carers or professionals working with children, or as potential employers, we all have a role to play and a contribution to make. Watch our special films of Derby children talking to adults.

We are a fantastic government-funded programme which is making a big difference by talking and listening more to children in Derby. It’s helping people across the city to support speech, language and communication development.
We are inviting sponsors to help us extend our work. Sponsorship can enable us to provide more resources – like books for children and more training for parents and nursery workers. You can also sponsor the first ever TALK Derby DAY on 1 July 2020. Want to know more visit talkderby.org.uk/get-involved/ or email: julie@hempsalls.com
In these difficult times, be careful when talking about coronavirus in front of your children.
You don’t want to create any anxiety in them surrounding the virus.
