It is a bit early, but we have begun already.

We have added another colour to the pages of both the SpeakEasy online edition, as well as the Children Centre pages.

The aim was to greatly increase the page contrast, making everything a little easier to read.

We are working slowly through the Children Centre pages to refresh their content, and have simplified the navigation on the Centre web site and added large ‘visual’ buttons to key pages. These will now change regularly to keep the pages lively.

We have also added a gallery column to the online version of SpeakEasy. Making the popular images of our latest activities and features easier to find and just a simple link away from our regular weekly school news.

There are also a couple of new informative films and links about supporting schools as a volunteer on the volunteer pages. Hope they are useful?

Working to keep you informed and updated…
