They will also have shown evidence of embedding this knowledge in targeted interventions and through the implementation of a Communication Policy. Accreditation can be achieved in one year and can be renewed after three years. It is the most cost effective strategy available for whole-setting capacity building in communication. Becoming a CFS involves three elements each of which can be commissioned separately: Training Teaching Assistants and teachers Training the setting staff through trained Lead Communication Practitioners An audit of the embedding of practices and policies in the setting Full details of the accreditation process are on the Cognition and Learning Team’s Elklan page on BSO.
