FFLACH - Forum for Language Awareness in Child Health

led by Dr Jim Richardson, jrichar3@glam.ac.uk, University of Glamorgan.

LLAIS’ second research development group, FFLACH, the Forum for Language Awareness in Child Health, is making advances to establish its remit in expanding the evidence base to support language appropriate practice in health and social care involving children and young people. Amongst other initiatives, this wide reaching group aims to develop best practice standards for integrating the Welsh language into research involving children and young people. It is envisaged that these standards may be subsequently generalized for use in research involving other vulnerable groups.
