One child in ten has persistent difficulties producing speech sounds, understanding or using language, or following the social rules of conversation. These children often have extra help at school from teachers and assistants and from health professionals, such as speech and language therapists and psychologists. However, many children's needs go unrecognised and others do not get the right help at the right time. Children, their families and the professionals supporting them agree that the most important result of any input is that children communicate more easily and independently and use their communication skills to take part in activities at home, school and in their communities. But, children's progress is often measured by the sounds they say and the language they use and understand. Many interventions also focus on these narrow areas of communication. This project will bring together children with speech and language difficulties and parents with researchers and practitioners from education and health to drive research to promote children's successful everyday communication. It aims to help identify children with difficulties and make sure they get the right help at the right time so they are able to communicate what they want to, when they want to.The new research network will cover the UK and Republic of Ireland. To make sure that children and parents are happy to express their views, groups will be set up specifically for them at the beginning of the project. Groups for parents in the UK and Ireland will be led by parents of children with speech and language difficulties. Groups for children will be led by experienced researchers. Group leaders will feedback knowledge, information and views from the parent and child groups to the wider research network. Experienced parent researchers will also provide support for members of the parent and child groups to help interested members join meetings of the wider network. Having the parent and child groups, along with the core research network, will allow us to gather the wider experience of children with a diverse range of speech, language and communication difficulties and their families. In the first year the network will meet virtually every other month, with one final physical meeting planned for July 2021. The meetings will focus on: 1. Building a robust and sustainable network 2. Defining what successful daily communication entails for children from preschool to secondary school 3. Creating an information resource bank of the tools and interventions and expertise on children's communication skills in UK and Ireland4. Deciding on priorities for research that can promote the development and evaluation of children's success in daily communication 5. Finding out how to link information collected in education, health and social care to evaluate long term influences on and impacts of communicative participation in UK and Ireland6. Planning a large scale research project to address the most important gap in what we know about children's daily communication in the UK and Ireland7. Identifying smaller-scale research projects for network subgroupsThe network will help: 1. Children and their families by providing information to help set goals for children's communication with teachers and therapists and evaluate the success of intervention that is meaningful and important2. Education and health professionals by providing a resource bank and new research on assessment and interventions 3. People who commission services by providing guidance on: how to measure the progress of children with speech and language difficulties, in terms of what is important to them and their families; which interventions meaningfully impact communication 4. Student professionals (teachers, speech and language therapists etc.) by highlighting long-term meaningful outcomes of interventions, and working collaboratively to mobilise research outputs and evidence

十分之一的儿童在发出语音、理解或使用语言或遵循谈话的社会规则方面存在持续性困难。这些儿童在学校经常得到教师和助手以及言语和语言治疗师和心理学家等卫生专业人员的额外帮助。然而，许多儿童的需要没有得到承认，其他人没有在正确的时间得到正确的帮助。儿童、其家庭和支持他们的专业人员一致认为，任何投入的最重要结果是，儿童更容易和独立地进行沟通，并利用他们的沟通技能参加家庭、学校和社区的活动。但是，孩子们的进步往往是由他们说的声音和他们使用和理解的语言来衡量的。许多干预措施也侧重于这些狭窄的通信领域。该项目将把有言语和语言困难的儿童和家长与教育和卫生部门的研究人员和从业人员聚集在一起，推动研究，促进儿童成功的日常沟通。它旨在帮助识别有困难的儿童，确保他们在正确的时间得到正确的帮助，以便他们能够在他们想要的时候表达他们想要的东西。新的研究网络将覆盖英国和爱尔兰共和国。为了确保儿童和家长乐于表达自己的观点，在项目开始时将专门为他们成立小组。英国和爱尔兰的家长小组将由有言语和语言困难的儿童的家长领导。儿童小组将由经验丰富的研究人员领导。小组领导人将把家长和儿童小组的知识、信息和意见反馈给更广泛的研究网络。经验丰富的家长研究人员还将为家长和儿童团体的成员提供支持，帮助感兴趣的成员参加更广泛网络的会议。拥有父母和儿童小组，沿着核心研究网络，将使我们能够收集更广泛的经验，儿童与各种各样的言语，语言和沟通困难和他们的家庭。在第一年，该网络几乎每隔一个月举行一次会议，最后一次实体会议计划于2021年7月举行。会议将重点讨论：1.建立一个强大的和可持续的网络2。定义什么是成功的日常沟通需要从学前班到中学的儿童3.在联合王国和爱尔兰建立一个关于儿童沟通技能的工具、干预措施和专门知识的信息资源库4。决定研究的优先事项，以促进儿童在日常交流中的成功发展和评估5。找出如何链接在教育，健康和社会关怀收集的信息，以评估长期的影响和英国和爱尔兰的沟通参与的影响6。计划一个大规模的研究项目，以解决最重要的差距，我们知道在英国和爱尔兰的儿童的日常沟通7。为网络小组确定较小规模的研究项目网络将有助于：1。通过提供信息帮助儿童及其家庭设定目标，让儿童与教师和治疗师沟通，并评估干预的成功性，这是有意义和重要的2。教育和卫生专业人员，提供资源库和新的评估和干预研究3。委托服务的人提供指导：如何衡量有语言和语言困难的儿童的进步，对他们和他们的家庭来说什么是重要的;哪些干预措施对沟通有意义的影响。学生专业人员（教师，言语和语言治疗师等）通过强调干预措施的长期有意义的结果，并协同工作，调动研究成果和证据，
