What does NALA do?

Since 1980, we have been involved with training, policy making, national coordination, research and innovation. Our work now relates to:

• developing effective policies to tackle the issue of adult literacy difficulties and convincing policy makers and funders of the need for investment
• making it easier for adults with literacy difficulties to access learning opportunities that meet their needs.
• improving adult literacy teaching and learning through, for example, doing research on best ways of teaching adults to learn and tutors to teach, developing resources and so forth.
• making organisations more effective in dealing clearly and fairly with people with low literacy skills.
