Course overview of Accessible Information Standard
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.
