Part of the speech and language therapy role is equipping the wider workforce in health and education, as well as parents and carers, to support children with speech, language and communication needs effectively. Liz Elks and Henrietta McLachlan trace the evolution of the Elklan training brand from a commission by Cornwall Local Education Authority in 1999 to write a course for teaching assistants to the variety of packages, resources and tutor support mechanisms it now encompasses. They discuss how the effectiveness of Elklan has been evaluated and the reasons behind its success. Top tips are included from learners to learners, from learners to trainers, and from trainers to trainers.
