What is
Easy Read?
Easy Read is an accessible format.
​
It is used by people with a learning disability and other people who have difficulty with standard information.
​
Easy Read is a way of translating difficult information and making it easier to understand.
​
Easy Read information uses easy words in short sentences, with pictures to help explain the words.​
​
The Equality Act (2010) and Accessible Information Standard require organisations to produce information in an accessible format. Easy Read can ensure that disabled people have equal access to information and are not discriminated against.
What we do
Using our expertise, we support organisations to make their information accessible to people with a learning disability and anyone who has difficulty with standard information.
​
We live by these principles:
End user focus

High quality

We typically provide Easy Read materials in PDF format. We can prepare high-resolution PDFs for printing and WCAG 2.1 compliant PDFs for publishing online, to meet accessibility laws.
