Making your information more accessible doesn't have to mean a complete overhaul. Sometimes it starts with the basics.
Our draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations gives this example.
A museum reviews its information literature and decides to increase the print size and redesign its pamphlets. It also rewrites them in clearer, plainer language.
The result? The information becomes more accessible to partially sighted visitors, people with learning disabilities, and those for whom English is an additional language, all in one go.
Depending on the museum's size and resources, it may also need to go further, offering Braille or easy read versions for people with other impairments.
This is the reasonable adjustment duty in practice. Considering the barriers your printed materials might create, and taking proportionate steps to remove them.
Our draft Code of Practice covers this duty in detail. You can read it in full at: https://ow.ly/Xsir50Z5xVZ
