Assistant Education and Training policy statement and consultation

A working group was set up by the RCSLT in April 2008 to draft a formal policy statement setting out the RCSLT position on education and training requirements and opportunities for Assistants.

The RCSLT acknowledges the important role that Assistants have in the delivery of effective speech and language therapy services and it is hoped this policy statement will be supportive in promoting the learning opportunities available to Assistants.

RCSLT would very much like your feedback, and that of your colleagues, on this draft policy statement for Assistants. You can respond electronically to this consultation via the following links:

Consultation survey

The consultation is open from 30 October - 1 December 2008. We would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this to your colleagues and networks as we believe that it is vital to receive feedback from as many stakeholders as possible. If you have any questions please contact Rubana Hussein.

We look forward to receiving your comments.
