Easy Read Self Help Resources

We would like to thank all our self-advocates and people with a lived experience who have shared their views and ideas over many years as we’ve worked together to develop our communication resources.

Having access to a range of person-centred approaches and communication tools is a fundamental right for people using our advocacy services. Easy read information is just one of the many tools that should be included in an advocate’s toolbox.

The following information has been written based on our experiences of creating easy read information.

Please remember:

• It takes time to get communication right
• It’s okay to get it wrong – just keep on trying
• Work together with the people you are communication with  
• ‘Good support’ is as important as ‘good information’
• Have fun creating!

Please feel free to download and use these resources.

We just ask that you do not change them as we want to make sure they are accurate, helpful and good quality.
