Partners in Literacy: Improving outcomes for families through local coordination Diagram showing how the PiL strategy can

contribute to national policy and local targets

The diagram demonstrates:•the key outcomes achievable through the Partners in Literacy approach•how they link to key national Public Service Agreement targets (middle section)•how these outcomes contribute to a range of local targets from the National Indicator Set (final section).

The diagram maps Partners in Literacy outcomes against Local Area Agreement targets. It can therefore be used by partners (including the Local Strategic Partnership) to map the impact of supporting literacy in the home against local priorities. Indicators shown include the 16 statutory targets that form part of every agreement (shown in bold). As indicated, the Partners in Literacy approach can help to deliver at least seven of these. Supporting evidence for this diagram can be found in “Literacy changes lives; an advocacy resource” (National Literacy Trust, Dugdale & Clark, Sept. 2008).
