The Skills for Life Strategy team is based in the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and has been operational since November 2000.

The strategy team has drawn its members from partner organisations such as the Prison Service, Qualifications and Curriculum Authority and the Learning and Skills Development Agency as well as from the voluntary sector and the civil service.

We are responsible for driving forward implementation of the national Skills for Life strategy and ensuring efforts to improve literacy, language and numeracy skills at national and local level are consistent and well co-ordinated. We are responsible for different aspects of the strategy as set out below.

• Access and Inclusion
