What follows is organised according to the Balanced System Five Strands and Three Levels because that is the framework that is underpinning service delivery across the system in Torbay and here are our Torbay resources.
What is The Balanced System®?
The Balanced System® framework is a way of making sure that in a setting, school or local area, the right provisions are available for parents, carers and professionals to help children and young people develop their speech, language and communication.
The framework is organised in five strands or themes and across three levels. All of these are important to get the whole system working at its best. If a local area is working well then as a parent or carer you should be able to find out what you need to know to answer your questions and where to go for more information.
