What is BT is passionate about? Communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. The ability to communicate well is a critical part of being a good parent, student, employee and citizen. That's why we're determined to make sure that young people in the UK get opportunities to become expert speakers and listeners, and receive a secure start in life.

A great deal of research has indicated that having the ability to express yourself properly, and understand with equal clarity what others say to you is a key life skill. Having good interpersonal communication skills is strongly linked to educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and ultimately a person's employability. It makes the site an effective way to carry out your investigation*.

But research also suggests that the need for the development of communication skills is greater today than ever before. Several possible reasons have been suggested; such as lengthy periods playing videogames and watching TV; the decline of conversation within the average busy family; a 21st century media culture centred on the sound-bite; and the lack of role models for people to look up to.
