Scope has been involved in a project which involves the development of tools to deliver information about energy to the large number of Australians who have difficulty reading. These people face significant barriers in understanding mainstream information sources, and require ‘easy to read’ materials to access written information.
This project involves translating existing energy information into Easy English and then further translating these resources into another 7 community languages – English, Arabic, Greek, Italian, Macedonian, Mandarin, Spanish and Vietnamese.
More information and the downloadable Easy English documents are available at: http://energyinfohub.org.au/energy-information-fund/projects/easy-read-energy-information
