  • Access to RCSLT grants to support CPD and research

Through your membership and involvement you also contribute to, and benefit from, the development of the speech and language therapy profession in the UK.

Your fees not only contribute to the development of the latest professional and clinical guidelines, but also help pay for many activities that strengthen speech and language therapy through engagement with the RCSLT's key stakeholders.

Examples of work the RCSLT supports in this way include:

  • Promoting awareness of speech and language therapy provision to decision makers through the Westminster All Party Parliamentary Group
  • Responding to important Government consultations like the Bercow Review of services to children and young people with speech language and communication needs
  • Gaining funding from Government into research on communication disability in Scotland
  • Working with the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People to develop children's services
