086 185 0656Supporting adult literacy needs in
Ireland: how organisations are
becoming more literacy friendly
The OECD Adult Skills Survey1 shows that one in six Irish
adults find reading and understanding everyday texts difficult:
for example, reading a bus timetable or medicine instructions.
One in four (754,000 people) has difficulties in real world maths,
from basic addition and subtraction to calculating averages.
The survey also showed that people who scored at the lowest
literacy and numeracy levels often have no or low qualifications,
earn less income and have poorer health.
Supporting adult literacy needs in Ireland
Many organisations are aware that their customers find some reading, writing and numbers
difficult. This can result in unclear communications, misunderstandings and additional staff time
and resources. For this reason many organisations are looking at how they engage with their
customers who struggle with reading and understanding information and services.
Becoming more literacy friendly
South Dublin County Council (SDCC) works closely with the National Adult Literacy Agency
(NALA) to provide literacy friendly services. This means SDCC takes into account the literacy
needs of the public and staff in everything they do. This leads to a higher level of service overall
and benefits the public, Council staff and elected representatives.

COMMUNITY CENTRE
Fettercairn Youth and Community Centre in partnership with
Tallaght Travellers Community Development Project and
Brookfield/Fettercairn Men’s Shed, received funding through
the South Dublin County Council Community Initiative Fund
in 2017 to develop a project to encourage and promote
participation of Traveller men from the Fettercairn and surrounding area to
work in partnership with Brookfield/Fettercairn Men’s Shed on a Traveller
Heritage Project.
Following consultation with Tallaght Travellers Community Development
Project the group decided to make a number of Barrel Top Wagons
representing Traveller Culture. This joint venture was to encourage integration
and to break down the barriers from both sides. The men learned new skills
during the course of the project.
The project commenced in October 2017 with a trip to the Traveller National
Museum in Navan, the day was very informative for all members of the group.
The main objective of the project was to promote relationships and challenge
any misconceptions the men had of one another. This project was a huge
success, the relationships and friendships formed were very evident on the
final day of the project. The men involved spoke very affectionately of one
another and of the project as a whole. Traveller men spoke of how this project
has opened up new opportunities for them and their continued involvement
with the men's shed and how they now see their local community centre as
a very welcoming place to be. They would like to see other Traveller men get
involved in similar projects in the area and countywide.49 Social Inclusion Week Events
