Question
How many children accessed the Talk With Me programme each year since 2020?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Social Services
Talk With Me is not a service which children can access but the programme does provide advice and tips to parents and carers about speech, language and communication (SLC) development, how to engage through play and when to seek professional help if there are concerns about delays with speech.
Since the beginning of our Talk With Me publicity campaign in June 2021, we have had 80,000 website hits from the digital campaign. Talk With Me’s social media presence has significantly grown since November 2021 with an increase of over 3,000 followers and over 2,200-page likes. The ongoing digital campaign across Facebook and Google has delivered 4.65 million impressions to our target audiences across Wales, with more than 25,000 Facebook page visits.
