Every Child a Talker is a programme designed to raise children's achievement in early language development from birth to five. It provides focussed support in targeted settings to provide the very best early language provision for all children and increase practitioner's knowledge in identifying children at risk of language and communication delay and supporting them as early as possible. The programme encourages strong partnerships with families and carers. Each setting is supported by a local authority ECAT consultant and develops their own Early Langauge Lead Practitioner (ELLP), as well as working with a linked setting to improve language provision. The ELLP's role is to act as an ambassador for Every Child a Talker and to promote the development of expertise amongst the staff within their setting and the linked setting.
