Why choose Easy Read Wales?
Everyone has the right to information they can understand
We want people with a learning disability to have better access to information so they can:
- Access the services they need.
- Make informed decisions about their life.
- Take an active part in their communities.
We are part of the charity Learning Disability Wales – a charity that has promoted the rights of people with a learning disability since 1983.
When you work with us, you benefit from this experience and commitment.
To communicate effectively, your information needs to be accessible. We turn complex information into clear, professional, and inclusive accessible information using principles designed by people with a learning disability for people with a learning disability.
Why organisations choose us
You care about accessibility and so do we. Working with us helps you create materials that are clear and inclusive.
Here’s why organisations across the UK trust us:
Proven expertise:
With over 20 years of experience, we’re recognised leaders in Easy Read and accessible information. We’ve created hundreds of Easy Read documents for a wide range of sectors, from health and social care to arts and government.
Trusted by major organisations:
We’ve delivered high-quality Easy Read projects for organisations across the UK, including Welsh Government, Senedd, NHS Wales, Carers UK, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and the Arts Council of Wales.
Committed to inclusion:
We are committed to the social model of disability – people are disabled by barriers in society. Accessible information can help remove some of those barriers.
Co-production at the heart:
We regularly check our work with people with a learning disability to make sure it’s clear, relevant, and genuinely useful to the people who will use it.
Non-profit values with social impact:
As part of Learning Disability Wales, every project we undertake supports our mission – to be the best country in the world for people with a learning disability to live, learn, love and work. By working with us, your organisation creates real social impact.
Leaders in the field:
We don’t just make Easy Read, we are committed to growing the use and understanding of Easy Read. We create free Easy Read resources and training materials, raise awareness across sectors, and are developing Welsh Easy Read standards. We are always striving to improve awareness, quality, and accessibility.
Bilingual services:
We create Easy Read in both English and Welsh, helping you reach a wider, bilingual audience and ensuring accessibility for more people in Wales. Our translators are trained in Easy Read concepts, so whichever language we are working in, we are choosing accessible language.
Digital accessibility built in:
We design our Easy Read PDFs to work with screen readers and assistive technology, so your information is accessible both in print and online.
Materials for any purpose:
We create Easy Read materials for reports, booklets, surveys, leaflets, instructions, presentations, posters, videos and more!
Flexible and responsive:
We offer a tailored service with flexible turnaround times to meet your deadlines without compromising on quality.
We help your message reach more people who need it, clearly, respectfully, and kindly. By working with us, you make sure people are included and feel valued.
How we work
We know accessibility can feel overwhelming, especially when deadlines are tight or information is complex. That’s where we step in. We guide you through the process clearly and reliably, working with you to create materials that work.
- Simplifying text: We turn your documents into clear, easy to understand language that meets recognised Easy Read standards.
- Accessible design: We use Photosymbols, plenty of white space, and clean formatting in our layouts. We make sure your materials are visually clear while also matching your branding.
- Drafts and proof checking: We share drafts and proofs with you throughout the process, making sure everything is accurate, clear, and exactly what you need.
- Expert delivery: We deliver your materials ready for both print and online as screen-reader-friendly, accessible PDFs.
We also offer consultation services, Easy Read video production, Youth-Friendly materials and Plain Language documents, all available in English and Welsh. Everything we do is about helping your information reach the people who need it.
