#LiteracyinScotland  presented by @HolyroodEvents and hosted by Jason Vit from the National Literacy Trust was absolutely splendid!

When you take a day away from the office you really want it to be worthwhile and I was not disappointed. Covering the role of schools, libraries, culture and the family home as points where literacy can be embedded and nurtured within a pupil’s world. Each speaker brought something very different to the table. Their passion and commitment was almost tangible. It was a thought provoking and uplifting day.
