5 February 2005 – Are You Making Yourself Clear?

Do you think about how easy it is for people to understand the things that you write? When providing information to the general public, it is important to consider those readers with cognitive impairments and learning difficulties. Finding help with writing in an accessible way can be difficult, but Mencap, the leading UK charity working with and for people with a learning disability, have a guide that can help you to make your communications more accessible. The guide is called “Am I making myself clear” and can be found in Mencap's Publications Library or by download using the link below.
