We work to make society accessible to people with unmet literacy needs
We remove barriers to people with unmet literacy needs
In Ireland, more than 500,000 people struggle with reading and understanding information, or doing simple math. This means they may be unable to fill in a form, vote, read instructions on medicines, add up a bill, help kids with homework or search the web for information.
We provide professional services to help organisations to be more accessible to people with unmet literacy, numeracy or digital literacy needs. There are benefits and cost savings of doing this.
Plain English Service
When you use plain English more people can understand your information.
Plain English is a way of presenting information that helps someone understand it the first time they read or hear it.
We provide editing and training services that will save you time and money.
Literacy awareness for organisations
Do you work in an organisation where you may come into contact with adults who struggle with reading, writing, maths or technology?
We have lots of training options for public facing organisations that can help.
Integrating literacy into further education and training
Integrating literacy into training courses leads to higher participation and retention rates, and increased achievement of qualifications.
Let us work with you and show you how.
Health Literacy
Patients who are better informed about their health are more likely to comply with their medication and as result have improved outcomes.
If you are a healthcare provider this section is for you.
Family literacy
Children learn early literacy skills from their parents.
Family literacy is a proven educational approach that supports parents with low literacy skills to help their children develop and learn.
