Walk and Talk is a Lancashire campaign to promote the importance of communication and language for our youngest children.

We've provided lots of resources for you as practitioners to share with your parents and get involved as a setting such as:

• top tips for communication and language

• discussion ideas for different places such as the park, the woods and the shops

• discussion prompts for local places that families can visit, provided by local settings

The Lancashire Early Years of Life Strategy emphasises the focus on "closing the word gap and improve child communications outcomes", achieving this through the home learning environment, early education environment and through early identification and intervention. The Walk and Talk campaign would support in achieving the aims of the strategy.
We would love to hear how you support walk and talk in your settings. Whether it is a walk around your outdoor area or in the locality.

Share your ideas and success stories with us on our Facebook page or private group. Please ensure you have consent to share photographs/videos of children.

If you would like to add to our collection of places to visit, please contact Aisha.Laher@Lancashire.gov.uk.
