NNUTS can be delivered within the speech and language therapy service’s usual NHS free at point of contact offer to educational settings OR as part of a service level agreement with additional SLT input bought in.

More time is required from both partners at the beginning for audit, goal setting and knowledge exchange. As the NNUTS framework becomes established and educational settings are more confident in their assessment and selection of children for targeted intervention, the input from SLTs becomes more focused at the strategic and specialist levels.
