    Brief

    This mixed methods research project seeks to investigate the roles and operational models of Speech and Language Therapists (SaLTs) and support workers within educational settings. The research will examine how these professionals currently work with students and identify the key barriers and facilitators that impact their effectiveness in schools. The project aims to provide evidence-based insights into workforce deployment, best practices, and systemic factors that either enable or hinder SaLTs' contributions to student outcomes in educational environments.
