On 16 June we held our successful Annual Conference – Realising Our Vision – in Cardiff. The conference was divided into three sessions covering evaluation, innovation and embedding, with much audience participation and discussion. Minister Jane Davidson delivered a keynote speech on the success and progress of the Words Talk-Numbers Count Basic Skills Strategy to date.

Comments made by delegates at the conference, in answer to questions posed (link to these below) on each of the three topics, have provided the first inputs into our new, online bilingual interactive discussion forum – www.basic-skills-wales.org/forum. We would encourage you to log on, read the views of your colleagues and have your say.
