About the project

Low numeracy affects half of the adults in the UK.

Many live with the limitations of not understanding numbers and the impact that has on everyday life, like managing money, arranging appointments, doing calculations and telling the time.

Use the accessible numbers design system to improve your product or service.

Research by Laura Parker with support from Rachel Malic and Jane McFadyen, based on our poster, designing for people with dyscalculia and low numeracy.

Used by the NHS, the Government Digital Service and Monzo bank.
