Nothing About Us Without Us
Over the last 22 years, we have produced 1000’s of easy read documents. Over the years, we have worked with the UN, government departments, local authorities, health and care services and many others.
We are an inclusive employer. Inspired was set up to empower people with learning disabilities worldwide. We also give some people with learning disabilities paid work making easy read information. Over the last 22 years, we have produced 1000’s of easy read documents. Over the years, we have worked with the UN, government departments, local authorities, health and care services and many others.
We do easy read for other major translation companies and have won national and international awards for our work. We started whilst supporting people with learning disabilities to make a new Government policy for services, Valuing People, although we had individually been doing easy read work since the 90s. The results from Valuing People were spectacular, with true involvement that changed a strategy into a White Paper, and had easy read government documents published alongside the complicated. It was inspiring to see people hold up their easy read copy and ask about their rights to get a job or home.
This work brought about our role in setting up and supporting the National Forum, a group with regional and local members that commented on policy progress to Ministers. With our Easy Read information, they influenced and changed laws.
Our Easy Read information has had a huge impact, with many people gaining informed power and control and being listened to for the very first time. The Easy Read Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has been translated into many different languages across the world after Inspired made the artwork package freely available to all who wanted to use it.
