Accessible Information Standard - Have Your Say:

The Accessible Information Standard (SCCI1605 Accessible Information) sets out

requirements for organisations to identify, record, flag, share and meet the
information and communication needs of people with a disability, impairment or
sensory loss.

All organisations that provide NHS care and / or publicly-funded adult social care
must follow the Standard in full from 1st August 2016 onwards.

In early 2017, NHS England is reviewing the Standard to assess the impact and to
ensure that it is fit for purpose. As part of the review we are inviting views via three
surveys aimed at different groups:

Online survey for health and care professionals and organisations (also
available as a Word document)
Online survey for patients, service users, carers and parents (also available as
a Word document, and in alternative formats including audio, braille, British
Sign Language video,
and easy read)
Online survey for support, supplier and representative organisations (also
available as a Word document).

All of the surveys are available from - http://www.england.nhs.uk/accessibleinfo

Please take the time to have your say before the deadline of 10 March 2017.

If you have any queries please contact england.nhs.participation@nhs.net. Patients,

service users, carers and members of the public can also call 0300 311 22 33.

Physical Activity Survey:

Living Sport are trying to identify gaps in sports and physical activity provision for
