Legal Services Templates
Templates to enhance the accessibility of legal information to people with learning disabilities
The COALITION Project was a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, the University of Leeds, People First and Wilsons Solicitors. We used co-production research methods to investigate barriers people with learning disabilities face in seeking legal information and advice, and to explore ways to enhance the accessibility of legal information to provide more accessible legal service to the community.
Find out more about this research at the Legal Capacity website.
This set of easy read templates was developed from our research to help legal services providers make their services more accessible to people with learning disabilities. We have also produced an Accessible Research Toolkit for researchers.

1. A guide to using these templates
2. Easy Read Template Letter of Engagement (pdf)
3. Easy Read Template Letter of Engagement (Word Document)
4. What is a Deputy? Easy Read Guide (pdf)
5. What is a Deputy? Easy Read Guide (Word Document)
6. Your Deputy Letter (pdf)
