Easy read service
Our easy read and expert review service can help you with:
1. Full easy read production
We can transform your documents into high-quality easy read content, based on best-practice standards.
This includes reworking content from your original document or a plain English summary you provide.
2. Expert review and enhancement of easy read content you have created, including AI-generated content.
AI can provide a helpful starting point. However, effective easy read requires careful judgement and a tailored approach to help you truly connect with your audience.
We can quality check and refine your content to ensure it is:
-
appropriate for the audience
-
reflective of their needs
-
aligned with easy read standards
This can help to boost engagement and ensure your content is meaningful and fit for purpose.
3. Expert review by the target audience.
We can arrange an additional quality review by consultants with a learning disability.
This ensures your information is informed by the perspectives of people with lived experience.
