The National Adult Literacy Agency is there to help the many people who have problems reading and writing.
A recent survey by Blessington Literacy Group found that most people working in areas dealing with the public are often unaware of how difficult life is for those with literacy problems.
As Rita Keane and Joyce Cleary explain, there is a need for literacy awareness training to be provided to all employees who deal with the public. This will help businesses and organisations make their services more accessible to people who might find reading and writing difficult.
Blessington Literacy Group is part of the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) which runs programmes for adults who feel they need a helping hand.
