Plymouth Guild of Voluntary Services have an on-line database of courses and career opportunities. We are working with them to develop a symbol supported site accessible by people with language and learning difficulties. The site has clear navigation and gives information on the courses and venues.

This area of the Plymouth web site is intended for service users who would like to access courses in the district. Previously the information required mediation or explanation from a carer. The new area can be accessed independently, helping users to gain a feeling of being consulted and exercising choice.

The project is jointly funded by the Learning and Skills Council, European Social Fund and Single Regeneration Budget.
