Low oracy children are twice as likely to suffer mental ill health and unemployment as adults.

The same report also says that:

"… 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."
