SLC Knowledge and Skills Matrix

The matrix has been created to support the development of Speech Language and Communication (SLC) knowledge and skills
across the pre-birth to 5 children’s workforce. It identifies the essential knowledge and skills (K&S) that practitioners across all
sectors require within their role to support SLC development for all infants and children.

The matrix can be used by individuals to reflect on their own practice and competency, support supervision conversations and
direct their learning journey. It can be used by teams to help them reflect on the quality of their environments and promote
collaboration around SLC. It can be used by organisations to support workforce training and development plans.
