Practice
Between October 2005 and December 2006 we worked with six organisations across England to carry out research and development work into the most effective ways of delivering literacy and numeracy in a financial context. The aims of the projects within each settings were to:
- analyse gaps in provision and resources
- investigate the literacy, numeracy and financial capability needs of the learners
- develop innovative ways for learners to improve their literacy and numeracy through financial literacy
- pilot these ways of learning
- develop materials and guidance resulting in replicable models of delivery.
We worked in six distinct settings, which were:
Prison - North Liverpool Citizens Advice Bureau
Community - Groundwork Coventry & Warwickshire
Workplace & trade unions - Cornwall County Council, Link Into Learning
Family Learning & Children's Centres - Newcastle City Council Family Learning Service
Voluntary sector - One Parent Families
