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.

It's the @DerbyUni launch of @lets_TALKDerby today which aims to help develop the skills needed to support children across #Derbyshire in developing their speech, language and communication https://t.co/Rt1VLnCOwI
Top tip!🙌
Repeat and expand on what your child says, for example:
“Mummy car”
“Mummy’s driving the car”
This helps children learn how to put words together, to make sentences that they understand and can eventually use.
