Louise Casey: People feel 鈥榠ntimidated鈥� if they are unable to read
Dame Louise Casey said low literacy could be having an impact on Covid-19 vaccination take-up.
The ex-government adviser told Naga Munchetty that "people feel very intimidated and excluded if they are unable to read and they really stop basic things鈥�.
"I would imagine some of the low take-up of the vaccination is because people don鈥檛 have the same access to literature that I would have,鈥� she said.
Dame Louise also discussed the impact low level literacy has on women experiencing domestic abuse.
This clip was originally broadcast on Naga Munchetty on 7 April 2021.
