About An Introduction to Easy Read: A Practical Workshop
What is Easy Read training?
Easy Read is an accessible format designed to make information easier to understand for people with learning disabilities, and others who have difficulty using standard versions of information.
Easy Read documents present information using a combination of simple language in short sentences, clear layout, and pictures that help to convey the meaning of the text.
Why is it important to provide information in Easy Read format?
When information is clear and easy to understand, people feel empowered. When people have knowledge that is easy to understand and find, they can:
• Take part and feel like they are a part of the world around them.
• Make choices based on facts.
• Know what rights they have.
• Learn new things and look for new chances.
It's important to note that Easy Read doesn't guarantee understanding—some people will still need help or a different format, like video or audio—but it is a useful way to break down difficult information and make it more inclusive and accessible.
What do you need to bring?
We ask people to bring a laptop, a policy or a leaflet to transcribe into an easy-read document with our 1-2-1 support.
