Equality and Diversity: Accessible Information

Accessible Information makes it easier for people with Learning Disability (LD) to understand information. Accessible Information is important to people with LD and it helps them to:

• Communicate
• Make choices
• Understand their rights
• Understand information
• Have a say

Accessible Information is important for the providers of services to people with LD to help them:

• Provide a quality service
• Meet legal requirements
• Be inclusive

People with LD find it hard to understand complicated written information. Accessible information uses photographs, symbols, CD/DVD to make documents and information clear and easy to understand.

NHS Grampian has produced a number of Accessible Information resources, which are available by clicking this link.
