The APPG is committed to ensuring parliamentary knowledge and support for the latest research, policy, and best practice in the field of literacy. The APPG will highlight the importance of raising literacy levels across the country, and will raise awareness of the importance of taking a multi-sector and multi-partner approach to literacy improvement.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
