The easy read guides are to help support disabled workers and workers with long-term health conditions.
Easy read is a way of making written information easier to understand. It uses simple language, short sentences and clear images to help explain content.
It is increasingly used to help people who have a learning disability and can also be useful for people who speak English as a second language.
We have added 6 easy read guides to our disabled workers guidance. These guides can:
- support disabled workers and workers with long-term health conditions to get into and stay in work
-
provide advice on how managers can create a supportive workplace
The easy read guides complement our existing talking toolkit which supports managers to structure conversations with disabled workers and help create an inclusive approach to workplace health.
The first easy read guide goes through the law and people’s rights as disabled workers.
The other 5 easy read guides go through conversations, based off the existing talking toolkit. Conversations include:
-
helping workers and managers take an inclusive approach to workplace health
-
understanding the work barriers that impact on workers
-
making reasonable workplace adjustments
Each conversation has a section on questions managers may ask. They may find this section useful in starting conversations with their disabled workers and workers with long term-health conditions.
