‘Introduction to WellComm’ Training Workshop led by Birmingham City Council Early Years & Childcare Service: Introducing WellComm - Speech, Language and Communication Toolkit

WellComm is the approved screening tool in Birmingham, and it supports a consistent universal approach to assessing and supporting children’s speech, language and communication needs.

If you are not yet using WellComm to screen your children’s speech and language, please attend one of these online training sessions.

Birmingham City Council (BCC) will fully fund one WellComm Toolkit for all schools, nurseries, pre-schools, and childminders registered to offer Early Education Entitlement (EEE) places.

Early Years settings need to attend an ‘Introduction to WellComm’ workshop. During the workshop, you will be provided with instructions on how to receive your Toolkit.

Settings that have received a WellComm screening tool can continue to send new staff to this training or staff that may require a refresher on how to use WellComm.

Target audience: Birmingham EEE-funding registered Day Nurseries, Nursery Schools, School Nursery Classes, and Childminders

Cost: Free

Places: 50 per session
