There are four different levels of the SLCF:
Foundation, Universal, Enhanced and Specialist.
Outlines the basic skills and knowledge that everyone working with children and young people should have around SLC and SLCN.
Start at this level if you:
• Already meet the Foundation level competencies
• Work directly with children and young people
• Need a general awareness of typical SLC development for your role
• Would benefit from an awareness of how to identify features of SLCN
The Universal level also has a bank of activities to support your learning or check how much you know about a particular aspect of SLC development and SLCN. These activities are available on the ‘Activities’ page and you can also access activities for specific competencies whilst completing the Universal level self-evaluation.
