Communicate Project

Training up new staff for 2 of our projects, at our Birmingham training today and tomorrow. It is always lovely to meet new staff who are going to go on to help their young people with their literacy needs. #literacy #Communication #support #CPD #YouthOffending #School

A little poem about Rapid English for #nationalpoetryday

Nationally, 57% of young people who are NEET for 12 months do not have good GCSE grades. (Youth Jobs Gap Report 2019) Supporting young people's literacy skills can help them engage with education. buff.ly/2PS0X0x

"75% of young people who are NEET for three months have been NEET for 12 months. Most NEET young people are NEET for the long-term." @ImpetusPEF #YouthJobsGap report. Missing literacy skills are a barrier that can be removed to help reduce NEET numbers. buff.ly/2PS0X0x

#RoaldDahlDay Reading broadens our horizons, informs us, allows us to escape to places we might never see and to explore the limits of our imagination. Everyone should have that chance. buff.ly/2PS0X0x

#RoaldDahlDay Non-fiction books are a great source of information. It is important we teach children and adults to read so they are able to find out the information they need and make their own decisions. buff.ly/2PS0X0x

#RoaldDahlDay Many readers can be put off by the books they find in school. Reading should be fun.

#Nationaldayofencouragement. We all master different skills at different speeds. Just because you might need longer to fully understand something is not a failure. The fact you mastered it is a success.

Our founder Norman visited the Birmingham office and we were treated to some live music. #officelife #singalong

What do you like to read? Our staff are getting into #NationalReadABookDay in the office. Whether you read fiction for fun or non-fiction to explore your interests or learn more, it is good to read a book. We work to make sure everyone gets the chance. buff.ly/2PS0X0x

#NationalWritingDay Imagine the isolation & frustration of not being able to tell your story to other people. Unfortunately this is a problem for a large number of children & adults in the UK. Services delivering Communicate give their users the skills needed to tell their story.

#NationalWritingDay Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone has the words to tell their story. This is wrong, and can easily be fixed. Communicate identifies missing skills and teaches them. We make sure everyone has the words to tell their story. buff.ly/2Tv7N9j

Well the sun didn't last long :(

#ThankATeacher We would like to thank all the staff who deliver Communicate. You might not think of yourself as a teacher, and have a different job title. But to the children, young people and adults you help, you are a teacher and you make a difference to their lives. Thank you.

From my desk, I can hear the @FluenceWorld developers mention Communicate a lot lately. Something exciting is coming!
