Help Shape the Future of Speech and Language Therapy Guidelines

We are excited to announce a partnership with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) to update their clinical guidance on stammering and cluttering. As part of this initiative, we are hosting two focus groups in January 2025 to gather valuable feedback from:

• Young people aged 16–25 who stammer (Friday, 24th January 2025)
• Children who stammer and their parents or guardians (Wednesday, 29th January 2025)

Your input will play a vital role in ensuring the revised guidelines reflect a broad range of experiences and perspectives. And as a thank you for taking part, participants will receive a £50 gift voucher.

Interested in taking part?
We are welcoming applications from:

• Young people aged 16 – 25 living in the UK
• Parents/guardians and their children (aged 15 years & under) who live across the UK

To make sure focus groups are representative, we are keen to hear from individuals who:

• Represent a diverse range of ages and backgrounds, including protected characteristics
• Have varied experiences with speech and language therapy (SLT), whether positive or negative
• Have accessed SLT or other forms of support—or none at all

How to Apply
To apply, please complete our short sign-up form.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 22nd January 2025.
