Hello Rachel,
I strongly recommend that you look at the Literacy Audit Kit developed by 
Literacy Alberta.  It was origianlly created for use in the social service 
sector, but is extremely adaptable and very effective. You can find 
information at http://www.literacy-alberta.ca/resource/auditkit/audktpg1.htm

Good luck.
Linda Shohet
