Requesting Easy Read
Why it matters
Easy read helps people who find written information hard to understand. It’s also a legal requirement.
What we want
• colleagues to understand easy read
• many to know how to create it
• many to feel confident in doing it
What we offer
• advice
• monthly ‘introduction to easy read’ sessions
• Photosymbols access
• ongoing support and checking service for those producing their own easy read
• plain English support
When you request work
Send us:
• a short, clear summary for us to work from (read our guidance for this here)
• the original document
• any specific images or branding required (PNG)
Your role
• agree the summary first
• plan how people will access your document
• deadlines - allow enough time for your easy read to be completed. Producing easy read is a time consuming
process
• documents are completed within 20 working days after the summary version is agreed. For urgent cases, please contact me so we can look at options
