Project Details

GGIG was awarded funding from the Big Lottery and Scottish Community Foundation to consumer test 5 symbol sets. The results will be published in an online, interactive Good Practice Guide.

The project has 4 parts


It's all about Pictures: Putting Symbol Sets to the Test.
This event on Friday 30 September was for people with learning difficulties. We collected feedback about pictures from the 5 symbol sets and found out what works and doesn't work in pictures.



An online survey to collect the reactions to different pictures from both service users and service providers.
The first results showing the favourite pictures from the Online Survey and the event are now available.
Favourite Pictures as Word Document
Favourite Pictures as PDF
The pictures we used(PDF)
A full report will be available in early 2012.



Feedback from mainstream service organisations on using different symbol sets to write Easy Read documents.
Results will be available in early 2012.





An event for service providers to launch the Good Practice Guide is planned for spring 2012..







This project follows on from the Saying it Simply Research which raised awareness about why "good information" is needed.
Now we are concentrating on the more practical aspects of how to produce successful Easy read documents.


During the project we will find out not only what the target audience want but also obtain unbiased information about using some of the different symbol sets.
