Communication Plan Project

EveryoneAt the beginning of 2006 Haringey Council and Haringey Health Services agreed to make sure that all information that we give to adults with learning disabilities is clearer and easier to understand.

To make this happen we offer communication training to everyone in Haringey on:

  • How best to communicate with people with a learning disability.
  • How to make information clear and easy to understand.
People planning

On our website we have an easy way for people to say what they think about the things that we do.

See the Have your say webpage for more information.
Easy words and picturesWe work together with the corporate communications team to make information clear and easy to understand.

We now have Communication Champions in all our services to make sure that everyone communicates in the best possible way. This is a named person for communication in their place of work. Champions will meet with Speech and Language Therapists for help.
