1 in 5 adults in Scotland have a low level of literacy skills This shows how common it is for people to have some difficulty with everyday use of numbers, writing or spelling. The Essential Skills Service is here to support adults in developing their existing skills in reading, writing, numeracy, problem solving and communication. |

Free support is provided in small groups or 1:1 tuition in a variety of locations throughout Moray helping adults to increase
their confidence in everyday activities e.g. shopping, budgeting, handwriting, filling in forms, helping a child with homework,
preparing to move onto college or upgrading your skills to help with promotion at work?.
Each person who enquires about support is asked to meet with one of our Adult Learning Co-ordinators. At this meeting we discuss a flexible learning plan to best suit their needs and look at solutions to any problems that may make participation difficult e.g. childcare, transport costs, shift work etc.
If you would like to brush up on your skills or feel you could support someone as a volunteer tutor please contact Moira Strathdee, Essential Skills Development Officer, or any of the essential skills team. See the link ‘contact information’ to the right of the page.
