Hello Suin

I am not aware of any Easy Read guidance for Northern Ireland.

Please could you contact the NI helpline on helpline.ni@mencap.org.uk and see if they can help.

This is the link to the government website with all the coronavirus guidance on - nidirect.gov.uk/articles/co...

But it isn't very accessible 😔

Best wishes

Sarah

Thank you Sarah, am I right that the guidelines for the wider public are the same as mencap? Or might they have their own rules

hello again

I am still seeing if there is anything specifically for clients.

As I understand it, settings may have different rules so it would be worth checking. These will be to keep keep everyone safe.

The most up to date rules in NI are here (from NI Public Health Agency) -

Thanks

Hi Suin

I hope all is well. Thank you for making contacting. The best thing to do would be to contact the helpline in Northern Ireland to see if they can help. You can call on 0808 808 1111 and listen out for the option to be through to Northern Ireland. I hope that helps.

Best Regards

Kieran
