People with disabilities, mental health, and other problems understand that life needs to change in some ways due to the lockdown but how we struggle to understand.
What support is going to stay to what it was before, what is going to get less, and what is going to go altogether or and other parts of our life is going to change or not, etc?
We are not saying the government is right or wrong making the rules but we just find the way they write the rules etc hard to understand.
This is why we need anything we need to know how our lives are going to be compared to before written in easy read.
No one knows how long the lockdown is going to go for and in the future, you may need to learn to write information in easy read so it is for people with disabilities mental health, and other problems to understand, not just information about the lockdown but other things too.
Here are some examples to help you learn easy to read. https://www.mencap.org.uk/advice-and-support/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-help-stay-safe-and-well
Just to everyone is even people with disabilities, mental health other problems understand and misunderstand things in different ways, what is easy read is to one person isn't necessary to another.
Always asks people how they would like their information before working on it.
The reason for this some people may find different ways too hard to read etc or the opposite where some people feel some ways are too childish, babyish, etc.
Some people may not be able to read and write but that doesn't mean they don't know they understand things etc.
For eg; different colored paper and writing for those who can read, large print, pictures, etc.
Also, for most people, you may have to include communication, etc without in and out easy read and accessible information. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/practical-tips-if-you-care-for-someone/how-to-care-for-someone-with-communication-difficulties/
