We are
legally required to ensure all the public information we provide is
available in an accessible format.
The Equality Act 2010 (formerly the
Disability Discrimination Act 1995) expects us, businesses
and other organisation to offer a number of different formats to
meet a variety of needs if it is reasonable and practical to do
so.
Common examples of
printed materials where alternatives would expected to be made
available include the following:
- Restaurant menus
- Public exhibition leaflets
- Leaflets which are always available and frequently
used.
Common accessible
formats used to fulfill this requirement include the
following:
Our
Accessible Information Guide (pdf, 2008,
417k) explains how we make sure information is presented in a
way that suits your needs.
We also recommend
the guide to other organisations for their own use.
