Easy Read Guides - Health

Easy read is the phrase often used to describe a way of making written information more accessible for people to understand, by using simple words, language, short sentences and illustrating the information with pictures. Its aim is to help people, particularly those with learning disabilities, to access information which they may not otherwise be able to, with or without support.

Asking for Easy read documents, leaflets or letters is classed as a reasonable adjustment to support people in many aspects of their life.

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

If you are looking for a particular easy read document and you can’t find it here please email info@essexcarersnetwork.co.uk or call 01255 554029 and we will endeavour to find it for you.
