"… children who struggle to talk and understand words … are six times more likely to fail English tests at 11 and eleven times less likely to pass maths. They are also twice as likely to have a mental health problem, and twice as likely to be unemployed as an adults”
The charity's chief executive, Jane Harris, said that the results of the survey show that "... what schools, nurseries, the government are doing at the moment isn't enough to help children to have the futures they deserve."
