Resource Manual for Commissioning and Planning Services for Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)

This major piece of work forms part of a range of RCSLT tools that can support leaders with the planning commissioning and delivery of services in line with government and local priorities.

It is essential to read the resource manual’s context section which sets out the national and local drivers, provides links to other RCSLT resources and sets out the methodology for the work.

The Resource Manual has sections on:

Aphasia
Autistic spectrum disorders
Cleft lip and palate
Dementia
Dysarthria
Dysphagia
Fluency
Learning disabilities
Speech and language impairment
Voice

Each section provides succinct information covering the key areas to inform the factual content for any tendering/service planning activity.
