Abstract	This paper begins with a discussion of what we mean by easy information. It then describes the methods employed in a project to create guidance on making information easier for people with learning disabilities. Researchers and people with learning disabilities worked together to interview information providers about approaches they had used and to carry out a literature review. Draft guidance was written and tested with a range of groups and individuals. Key findings from the project were the necessity of a clear aim when planning information, the need to consider carefully the best format or media for sharing your message and most importantly, to work with your intended audience when creating information. The paper goes on to discuss the importance of making information appropriate for all sections of the community, including people from Black and minority ethnic groups. (Author).
