During the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, TALK Derby is providing an online service to Derby practitioners and families through our resources and support and training offer. We are available on the phone and via 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.
