You and your organisation are now expected to make your documents and information accessible for anyone who needs it. Having communication standards and policies will help make this happens. For example, your disabled service users and patients, including those with impairment or sensory loss should easily have and understand the information they’re given and need. And any communication support should be readily available to them.

Our course will help you develop a plan, which delivers these communication requirements. We’ll help you organise a strategy to meet the information and communication needs of your clients, patients or service users (and where appropriate their carers and or parents). We’ll support you in becoming fully competent with your new communication standards set by NHS England.
