Many participants at Soilse have problems with literacy or numeracy, or specific learning difficulties. For this reason, we take a whole-centre approach and integrate literacy throughout our programmes and education modules. We also use plain English in our participant forms, leaflets, handbooks and other documents.

Our literacy service includes:

• Assessment of learners' needs
• Individual learning plans
• One-to-one tuition
• Spelling groups
• Referral to support agencies
• Post-Soilse support
