Hi!

I have had a request for ESOL material on themes such as domestic violence, mental health and FGM and other health and wellbeing subjects. Mainly for Pre - entry, E1 - E3 level. Does anybody already have materials on this subject?

 

The organisation making the request doesn’t receive funding to develop ESOL materials only to provide services. Can you tell me whether there is any funding support / sponsorship that we could tap into to develop such material? They often work in partnership with the Police, Public health and community organisations but very often their workshops / talks do not support low level learners. They would like to design some materials in partnership with these organisations to help them to communicate better and help our 30 women access these services and their information more effectively. They don't have the financial resources to support the design of materials and so are looking for further funding to support the time to design and pilot. They have a fantastic team of 10 volunteers who can help deliver the learning through these themes. Many thanks.
