Easy Read Guides

“When a person can understand the options that are available to them,  they can be more involved in decisions that will affect their everyday life. This, in turn, means that they are more likely to get the most appropriate support for their needs which leads to improved outcomes.” – Inclusive Communication Essex.

Easy read is a way of making written information easier to understand, by using plain English with no jargon, shorter sentences and supporting images. Its aim is to help people, particularly those with learning disabilities, to understand information more easily.

This page provides information in easy read from many different organisations and links to websites that have a library of easy read guides.
