At BT we're committed to communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. Being an effective communicator is a critical part of being a good parent, student, employee and citizen. That is why we're fully committed to making absolutely sure that the UK's young people have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and get the best possible start in life.

Many pieces of research have suggested that being able to express yourself clearly, and to comprehend with equal clarity what other people are saying to you is a fundamental enabling skill of life. Having good interpersonal communication skills is strongly associated with physical and mental health, socially desirable behaviour, educational attainment, and ultimately a person's employability. It makes the site an effective way to find out more*.

Research also suggests, however, that the requirement to ensure that communication skills are developed is more vital now than it has ever been previously. A number of causes have been suggested; such as too much time in front of the TV and computer; the decline of conversation within the average busy family; the sound-bite culture of 21st century media; and the lack of role models for people to look up to. The BT Better World Campaign site is recommended as a source to look further into the term communication for secondary teachers.

BT's Better World Campaign web site is a treasure-chest of material designed to help you get the most from communication. Children and young people will find games that unearth the secrets of better communication in a way which is fun and thought-provoking. Animated presentations and videos explain everything from how you and your friends can get on better to how to perform effectively in an interview situation.

If you're a teacher you'll find information to support the objectives of the national curriculum regarding speaking and listening. There's also information about the financial awards that BT offers to schools. Last but by no means least, parents are catered for, with a section of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to advice about tackling a few of the thornier elements of being a good parent. As well as downloadable activities, you'll find a wide range of literature and DVDs which can be obtained for just the cost of post and packaging.
