The aim of Easy Read is to give more people access to information. “Easy Read” refers to the presentation of text in an accessible, easy to understand format. Easy Read helps people with learning disability understand information easily. Easy Read can also be helpful for people who are not familiar with English, have low literacy or who need to understand information quickly.
Easy Read training will help your organisation to connect better with all your consumers. You will learn how to make your documents and communications easier to read.
Targets: Consumers or health organisation members who are responsible for writing documents and resources for health consumers
