About us

Who?

We are a team of expert design specialists with years of experience of working with people with learning disabilities and literacy and accessibility needs.

Why?

We understand that many people find reading difficult and do not always have someone to help them. Easy Read allows them to understand any written document with increasing independence.

How?

We work closely with people with additional needs to ensure the work we do respects their wishes, listening to their ideas and ensuring every document we create meets their preferences in every way.

Easy Read and legal responsibilities

Everybody has the right to ask for reasonable adjustments

According to the Equalities Act 2010, there is a legal duty to provide information in an accessible format. This is especially important for personal correspondence and instructional documentation:

(3)The first requirement is a requirement, where a provision, criterion or practice of A's puts a disabled person at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to avoid the disadvantage.

(4)The second requirement is a requirement, where a physical feature puts a disabled person at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to avoid the disadvantage.

(5)The third requirement is a requirement, where a disabled person would, but for the provision of an auxiliary aid, be put at a substantial disadvantage in relation to a relevant matter in comparison with persons who are not disabled, to take such steps as it is reasonable to have to take to provide the auxiliary aid.
