Easy Read for Education & Further Education

Easy Read in Education and Further Education

Imagine a student trying to make sense of a Course Handbook that's written in complex academic language.

Or a parent struggling to read a letter about their child's Support Plan, unsure what it really means.

In education, accessible communication isn't just helpful - it opens doors to participation and places the emphasis on the learning content, not the language it's written in.

Meeting Accessibility and Inclusion Duties

All educational institutions have a legal duty to make information accessible.

Under the Equality Act 2010, schools, colleges, and universities must ensure that students with learning disabilities or communication difficulties can understand key information.

Easy Read supports inclusive education by presenting information clearly - combining simple language with visual structure and consistent design.
