The Cornwall Accessible Communications Group is a multi-agency group. The group was set up to improve all forms of communication.
The group will:
- oversee the implementation of the accessible information standard
- develop consistent standards around accessible information
- draw on the expertise of voluntary and community sector organisations
- share examples and good practice
- act as a critical friend to review resources and ideas
All partners of the group are committed to:
- improving communication
- using plain English
- enabling access to information in different formats
Accessible communications symbol
The group developed an accessible communications symbol. The symbol is a picture, which shows examples of formats available. This includes audio files, Braille, and foreign languages.
We hope more organisations will use the symbol. This will make it easy to recognise for anyone with a communication need.
The symbol is available in different picture formats. Email NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly's engagement team.
