🌟 Ffion delivers Easy Read Training 🌟

Yesterday morning, Ffion delivered an online Easy Read presentation to Geraint Ashton and his colleagues from Caerphilly Council. πŸ’»πŸ‘ We started with a fun icebreaker question: 🎡 “What are you looking forward to?” Many people said music concerts! 🎀🎢

Ffion talked about: πŸ“– What Easy Read is πŸ’‘ Why Easy Read is important πŸ“„ Which documents should be in Easy Read ✏️ How to create Easy Read information. Everyone took part in an activity where they changed a complicated sentence full of jargon into an Easy Read sentence. πŸ‘

Ffion did an amazing job speaking, explaining, and answering questions. We are very proud of her! πŸ’™β­ Easy Read helps make information accessible for everyone and supports people to understand important information. πŸ‘ Well done, Ffion! πŸ‘
