I make Easy Read information for, and with, people with learning disabilities.
Easy Read also helps many other groups of people to access information because of its simple language, large print, images, and uncluttered design.
I can offer training in a variety of formats for your staff teams. The most popular and effective format is for small teams of 3-5 people, following this plan:
An in-person introductory session, for 2 hours
5 online sessions (1 hour each), with homework for delegates to do each week
By the end of the course, delegates will have worked on a number of real-life Easy Read projects, ready for your organisation to use. Read reviews from recent delegates at the bottom of this page.
My booklets, leaflets, books and other documents feature:
plain English text
large print
images to support the text
professional graphic design and publishing, ready for print or online use
I will be signing up to the new UK Easy Read Standards, which will be launched by Disability Equality Scotland on 1st October 2026.

My customers include local and national government, NHS organisations, museums, galleries, universities and charities. I am happy to work on any topic, in any format, from corporate strategies to art exhibitions.
I can supply information as:

PDF files, optimised for accessibility and/or as fillable surveys

"Clare's dedication to making sure clear information is accessible to all was evident in every part of our training. Her training shows that producing Easy Read documents is not just about following 'how to' instructions, but is a way of thinking about how we communicate, what we want to communicate and why. It was inspiring to hear her examples of work she has done with groups to make sure information that is produced works for them."
Easy Read Training delegate, BCP Council
"Clare's easy-read training was an intuitive and engaging experience that provided a clear framework for writing simplified communication.
We were able to develop our skills as we went along, and the materials act as a guide for future projects."
Easy Read Training delegate, Dorset Council
"Clare is a brilliant trainer, really supportive and engaging. Clare creates a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable to learn and contribute. Her clarity, patience, and passion really shine through.
The content was really useful and Clare's relaxed but knowledgeable approach made the training really interesting. "
Easy Read Training delegate, BCP Council
"I have quickly built up a great working relationship with Clare, she meets our needs for quality, accuracy and speed in translating key health documents and messages into Easy Read and plain English.
Audience groups receiving this information tell us how clear and user-friendly it is.
Clare has an excellent knowledge of the health and social care sectors and this adds to the quality of information she is able to produce. Highly recommend."
Laura White, formerly of NHS Dorset
"Clare produces Easy Read materials to support a range of engagement and coproduction projects run by Furner Communications.The largest of these projects is the Health Foundation's Inclusion Panel.
Clare designs agendas, FAQs, reports and presentations for the Panel members, on a monthly basis. This work is often done to very tight deadlines, and Clare always delivers.
Her service is reliable, great value for money, and of consistently good quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using her services as part of any project where accessibility and inclusion is a priority."
Ben Furner, Furner Communications
