Hello again

Oh dear. Quite a lot of the guidance has changed again.

We know how disappointing and upsetting the new guidance is for many people. 😞

I'll share new guidance in Easy Read here as soon as it is available, and it will also be popped on Mencap's main website here - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

You can also see the latest government guidance here - gov.uk/government/publicati...

Best wishes
