Up to date easy read access information guidelines.

 


For people with disabilities and other problems it is important to have accessible information to try help them by understood by you and even you be them.

Not everyone can read so you may need to talk to someone who knows them who can support them if they struggle to be understood their own or may need to get someone to support, could be talking the phone, writing a letter, emailing, etc to and from the person who maybe supporting them etc.

This may not be the case in everyone as the way people’s disabilities and other problems do and not affect can vary from one person to another.

Some people disabilities and others may not have any or little IT skills or and may not be on the internet due to their safety but then some are so do consider you may need to write a letter or call up either them or and whoever is supporting them etc.

Communication is also a useful tool to learn to try to help you understand some people but it may not always help for everyone and some people have people in their lives who can support them or and speak their behave and others do not.

Even someone cannot read some people may understand a thing by pictures, but some people may want you or someone to explain what you mean by the pictures.
