What is Easy Read?
Easy Read is a way of presenting information using simple words, short sentences, and clear images or symbols. It is designed especially for people with learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, or anyone who finds standard documents hard to understand.
Easy Read is not just about using plain English — it’s about making sure the meaning is clear and the layout supports understanding. This can include:
• Using large, clear font
• Keeping plenty of space between lines
• Adding helpful pictures next to text
• Breaking down complex ideas into small steps
Why Easy Read Matters
When information is easy to read and understand, people feel more confident and included. Easy Read documents support people to:
✅ Understand their rights
✅ Make informed choices
✅ Take part in services and community life
✅ Feel respected and valued
Easy Read is also important for organisations that want to be inclusive and meet legal duties under equality laws.
