Early years settings shine a light on children's speech and language

Early years teams, settings and individuals are invited to enter the 2012 Shine a Light awards that celebrate best practice and excellence around supporting children and young people's communication.

The Shine a Light awards, run by The Communication Trust and Pearson Assessment, aim to highlight individuals and settings’ best practice and the innovative approaches they take in developing the communication skills of children from birth.

Early years teams, settings and individuals can nominate themselves for an award in one of 11 categories, which include: early years setting of the year, team of the year, and new to this year’s awards, innovation in the speech, language and communication needs field.

The winners of each category will be invited to an awards ceremony at Pearson Assessment’s head office in London on 21 November.

Last year, 300 people entered the Shine a Light awards, which were run as part of the 'Hello' campaign to mark the national year of communication.
