Brilliant at the job

"Brilliant at the job"

About: Children & younger people's services / Early Intervention Speech and Language Therapy (Home talk)

(as a parent/guardian),

We got assigned Hazel back in 2019 to assist with home talk. 

I was feeling very anxious about this as a first time mum. 

I can honestly say we could not of asked for better, Hazel took time to get to know my son and myself even my 1 year old daughter at the time. 

Hazel has always been there if I needed advice to point me in the right direction. 

I Followed Hazel’s advice and we together made massive improvement with my son's speech and his all around behaviour. 

Hazel is brilliant at her job, some people you can tell it’s just a job but Hazel engaged so well with us all. 

Made me feel at ease, I never felt rushed or judged.

Hazel did more for us a family than any other help professional has to date.

We were extremely lucky to have Hazel and we will miss her greatly.

Hi J-Anne,

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your story. It was great to read about the difference Hazel has made to your family and in particular to your son. Home talk is a programme that relies on you as parent implementing small changes that can make a big difference to children's communication - so a large part of its success comes down to you!

I have passed on your story and thanks to Hazel. I have also shared with more senior managers in our organisation so Hazel's approach to her work is acknowledged and to let her know she is very much appreciated.

I wish you and your family the very best

Karon (General Manager for Children and Young People)
