In the United Kingdom the Accessible Information Standard is a legal requirement.
The NHS and adult social care organisations must ensure people get information in a way they can use and understand.
The Equality Act (England, Scotland & Wales) & Disability Discrimination Act (Northern Ireland) is law that requires accessible information be made available to disabled people.
EasyRead.info refers to NHS guidance on The Accessible Information Standard in the production of all work.
We actively encourage and promote service user involvement in the work that we do.
We are eager to work with preferred focus groups, citizen panels or service user forums in the creation and validation of work undertaken.
As means of a reference point, EasyRead.info works to the principles outlined within NHS Practitioner Resources, related specifically to User Involvement. [SOURCE]
If you do not have active service user involvement, then EasyRead.info will connect you to an appropriate network.
