Accessible Information Standard Online Training Course

The Accessible Information Standard (AIS) applies to all publicly funded adult social care service providers as well as health services. It sets out a requirement that these providers of services, and the people that work or volunteer within them, must communicate effectively with the people who use their services, specifically if they have a disability, impairment or sensory loss.
The AIS also covers the provision of information and services to meet people’s needs to ensure communications are clear and in a format they can understand. In this course, we will explain what this means for you, your organisation and the people you support.

This course has been designed specifically for people working in a social care setting, including managers, who want to know or who are required to know more about the Accessible Information Standard.
