New guidance on producing information for people with learning disabilities.
The government has launched new guidance to improve the standard of information for people with learning disabilities.
There are an estimated 1.5 million people with learning disabilities in the UK. This guidance will help central and local government organisations understand how they can communicate with all disabled people, including people with learning disabilities.
The guidance focuses on creating Easy Read, which uses simple words and pictures to communicate complex messages. People with learning disabilities are involved in developing the publications to make sure they are easy to understand.
This guidance demonstrates the government’s commitment to ensuring everyone can understand information that affects their everyday lives and can participate in their own community.
