How can I create accessible information for all people?
There are a number of ways that you can create accessible information. Firstly, you need to understand the information needs of the people you are providing this to. Is it a question of translating information into a different language, or is it about making the information easier to understand, such as Easy Read? There are certain online resources that you can use such as:
Easy Read information on the SDS Legislation: A Guide to the Self-directed Support (Scotland) Act 2013 - gov.scot
