You asked
I would like to inquire about data that the ONS may have on the literacy skills of adults specifically in the Greater Manchester area, as most of the data I've seen on the websites is about England as a whole.
I would like to know about what demographics are most affected by low literacy in this area: their ages, gender, ethnicities etc if it is available for access. The ideal time frame would be 2020 onwards

Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the requested information specifically showing low literacy levels by age, gender, and ethnicity for the Greater Manchester area. The Department for Education (DfE) may be better placed to answer this request. They can be contacted via the following website: Contact the Department for Education.
You may find the information we have published on education from the 2021 Census helpful. This can be accessed via the following link: Education, England and Wales.
