The Norfolk Early Years Podcast Let's Talk series
New for 2025 - We have changed the format of the Communication Hubs; we will be releasing a podcast each term and following this with a face-to-face Communication Hub workshop.

Podcast
Our first podcast is now live, Episode 1 of the series is, Let's Talk ... Communication and Physical Development. We are joined by Anne O'Connor, an independent consultant, trainer, author and co-founder of Primed for Life, who will discussing the hidden links between children's physical development and their communication development. Anne will be providing insight into the fascinating connection between brain and body.
After listening to the podcast, the Early Years team welcomes all Norfolk early years practitioners, reception and nursery teachers, and wider professionals, to join them at an interactive Communication Hub workshop. Our early years and speech and language colleagues will support attendees at the Communication Hub workshop to take the key principles from the podcast and think about the practical application in settings. Our face-to-face sessions will also facilitate useful information sharing and networking opportunities.
Listen to the podcast with Anne O'Connor here.
